Before her move to Morgan Lewis, Apetz-Dreier managed the Munich office for Reed Smith, where she also contributed to the firm’s environmental, social, and governance practice. Upon her induction, Morgan Lewis confirmed that she will continue her comprehensive work within these sectors.
This new addition to Morgan Lewis’s roster is significant in a few ways. It not only continues to demonstrate the firm’s resolve to strengthen its international footprint, especially in Europe, but also underscores the increasing importance of having seasoned experts in the evolving areas of commercial litigation and international arbitration. This appointment further signals the sustained emphasis on environmental, social, and governance criteria in contemporary law practices.
