Eckart Brödermann

Eckart Brödermann (* 1958 in Hamburg) is an internationally active German legal scholar, specialist in international business law, arbitrator and author.

Education and Admissions to the Bar

After graduating from the Johann-Rist-Gymnasium in Wedel near Hamburg in 1977, Brödermann studied three legal systems in France, the USA and Germany. During these studies he also acquired knowledge of other legal systems in selected extracts (China, Japan, Russia; England). He holds degrees from universities in Paris (Licence en droit, 1980; Maîtrise en droit, 1981), Cambridge, Massachusetts Harvard Law School, LL.M., 1983; (East Asian Studies Program), and Hamburg (First State Law Examination, 1987; Dr. jur., 1994). In 1980, he was awarded the title Lauréat du Concours Général by the French Ministry of Universities for his achievements in a competition in legal history.

During his studies, Brödermann has delved into complementary basic legal subjects of international business law, all of which are part of what he calls "bridge building law". Law that can be used to build bridges between nations and unify rights from different states. These are international law, comparative law, private international law, European law and international arbitration law.

Internships have taken him to law firms in Piraeus , Greece (maritime law, 1979) and London (maritime law, 1981). In summer schools in Thessaloniki and The Hague, he has studied space law and private international law.

In 1984, Brödermann was admitted as an Attorney at Law in New York. From 1985-1987, he studied for his third law degree in Hamburg, while working independently as a locally admitted counsel in New York and U.S. federal law. From 1987-1990, Brödermann clerked in Hamburg subsequently with the Hamburg Antitrust Office, with three judges of first instance in administrative law and in civil law (including a judge from a chamber with an IP focus and a judge from a chamber with a private international law specialization) and with both a criminal law appellate Judge and a Judge from the Hamburg Appellate Court in Civil Law Matters. In 2011, Brödermann was admitted as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (London). In 2016, he was awarded the title of specialist lawyer for international business law.

Research and Teaching

Teaching. Since 1996, Brödermann has taught in various capacities, in particular from 1997 onwards at the University of Hamburg, by which he was appointed professor (on an honorary basis) in 2011 on a life-time basis. He has also guest lectured in China and the US, including in Tianjin for the Hanseatic Bar Organization as part of the China EU School of Law. At Bucerius Law School, he lectured on international plant engineering contracts (2009-2010). Since 1989, he has supported and advised the European Law School Association ELSA, first as an advisor and since 2009 as an advisory board member.

Brödermann's teaching focuses on "bridge building law": in the areas of private international law, comparative law, international contract drafting (with interdisciplinary aspects) and international arbitration law. Since 1989, he is co-author of a case book for students on private international law and international litigation and arbitration (eight editions). Since 2014, Brödermann has supported the University of Hamburg team of the annual student competition Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court, in which students from all over the world competitively draft pleadings in English and argue international commercial law cases before an arbitral tribunal (In 2020/21, the competition included 386 universities). In 2013, Brödermann was the presiding arbitrator in the final of the XXth Willem C. Vis Moot Court in Vienna. In 2020, the University of Hamburg team was placed third worldwide as the "2d runner up".

Since the beginning of his teaching career at the University of Hamburg, Brödermann has been involved, among other things, in the creation and teaching of a supplementary business law course and later LL.M. Asian-European Business Transactions at the University of Hamburg (incl. the accreditation process); this was later discontinued during the establishment of the China EU School of Law. Brödermann was involved in the founding preparations for the China EU School of Law through the Hanseatic Bar Organization.

Research. Since 2004, Brödermann's research has focused on the general legal principles and legal rules of general contract law compiled by the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) between 1971 and 2016 and further developed through comparative law work. i.e. the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT itself is an international organization that emerged from the League of Nations in 1926). In 2018 Brödermann published a commentary on their 2016 edition in English, which was reviewed a total of 35 times in 21 countries and published in a Mandarin translation in China in 2021. Since then, he has been working on country- and market-specific essays (e.g., for Asia, Germany, India, or the U.S.).

Practice and Work

Since his legal practice as a foreign associate in Washington, D.C. in 1983/84, Brödermann has worked with an international focus. After working for a larger law firm in Hamburg, he became self-employed on Oct. 1, 1996, when he founded the Brödermann law firm. In 1997, the former senior partner of his first German legal employer, Erhard Jahn (†), became his first partner. In 2002, the firm incorporated to become Brödermann Jahn Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft GmbH . In 2021, it celebrated its 25th anniversary. It regularly provides cross-border advice with reference to more than 20-30 legal systems: The "bridge building law" is applied daily in numerous facets of international business law.

In his international practice, Brödermann focuses both on cross-border contracting in the field of commercial and company law and on dispute resolution. In doing so, he has gained in-depth experience over the years in approximately 20 industries (inter alia, in the context of negotiations on plant construction and complex sales contracts). His work regularly includes the conflict between and comparisons of national laws and the work with modern universal solutions such as the UNIDROIT Principles ("soft law") which he has applied regularly since 2001. Not only from a comparative law perspective, he is convinced that it is often more solution-oriented to work with the neutral legal rules and principles of the UNIDROIT Principles: For globally networked industries, it is often risk-minimizing and cost-reducing, e.g. in the satellite, textile or automotive industries. Brödermann has been using the UNIDROIT Principles for years in his daily work as a specialist lawyer for international business law, in order to create a neutral and reliable basis for international contracts - usually in combination with an arbitration clause. This applies to contracts with reference to German parties as well as to projects without reference to Germany (such as investments from Asia to Asia; or contracts of US companies with companies located in other countries). Brödermann has also used the UNIDROIT Principles in international arbitration proceedings, as counsel, arbitrator or expert (twice also in large arbitration proceedings with state reference). In several cases (since 2002) the parties have subsequently agreed - changing the choice of law - during the arbitration proceedings to the application of the neutral UNIDROIT Principles.

Through his firm, Brödermann is an active member of the International Society of Primerus network of lawyers based in Grand Rapids, MI, where he has held various positions, including serving on the board of directors, helping to establish the "EMEA" group (for Europe, Middle East, Africa), and as founder and chair of the International Practice Committee in 2020-2021. Inspired by Brödermann, the network has recommended the use of the UNIDROIT Principles to its members and clients in nearly 50 countries. Likewise, Brödermann has been actively involved in the Consulegis network of lawyers in various capacities since 1998.

For more than 20 years, Brödermann has been involved on a voluntary basis in projects related to international law making, arbitration and lawyer self-governance. He has participated in several European and worldwide soft law projects, particularly in the areas of civil, international commercial and arbitration law. He has participated in the development, creation and establishment of two international arbitration institutions. He has held various positions in lawyer self-governance. In 2009 he founded an initiative "Think Tank Good School".

Soft Law Projects

• IPBA Guidelines on Privilege and Attorney Secrecy in International Arbitration: From 2017 to 2019, Brödermann served as co-coordinator of the Inter-Pacific Bar Association IPBA Working Group on the Development of Rules to Protect Attorney-Client Privilege Against Document Disclosure Requests in International Arbitration, the IPBA Guidelines on Privilege and Attorney Secrecy in International Arbitration, released in Osaka in 2019.

• UNIDROIT Principles: From 2007 to 2010, Brödermann served as Official Observer of the Working Group of the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) in the work on the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts 2010 (for the Space Law Committee of the International Bar Association IBA). They have since been further developed through additional rules and comments on long-term contracts in 2016. For years, Brödermann has been actively involved in projects to disseminate knowledge about the UNIDROIT Principles, which provide a response to globalization in the area of international contract formation by the international community of states. After almost one year of preparatory work, the Union Internationale des Avocats officially recommended the use of the UNIDROIT Principles to its members on July 15, 2020 in a declaration initiated by Brödermann. Through the lawyers' organizations involved in the UIA, the UIA indirectly reaches two million lawyers in more than 110 countries. Presently, Brödermann is working since 2021 on a social blog concept on Simplified Global Contracting under the UNIDROIT Principles, best in combination with an arbitration clause, aiming to bring together academics, lawyers and students from around the globe.

• Annex Space Protocol to the Cape Town Convention: Brödermann was a member of a head server group in the development of an annex on space law issues of the so-called Cape Town Convention under the leadership of UNIDROIT, agreed in 2012. The aim was to create a legal basis for certain economic uses of outer space.

• European Expert Network: In 2004-2005, he was a so-called "stakeholder" member of the European Expert Network for the development of a Common Frame of Reference of the European Commission, where he was involved in preliminary work for a European legislation in the area of guarantee law – suretyships - in Brussels (the project was later put on hold due to European developments).

Cooperation in the establishment of arbitration institutions

• Permanent Arbitration Court of the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce: Brödermann has been Vice President of the Permanent Court of Arbitration of the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce since 2016. He contributed to the establishment of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the Rules of Arbitration and is, among other things, co-author of a set of rules on avoiding influence on arbitrators through bribery (Compliance Code of Conduct of the Court of Arbitration).

• Chinese European Arbitration Centre: In 2004, Brödermann developed a concept for an initially German-Chinese arbitration project for the Hanseatic Bar Organization as part of the city partnership between Hamburg and Shanghai. After numerous exploratory talks worldwide and the bundling of 470 supporters from 47 nations, this resulted in a European-Chinese project in which he played a decisive role. In 2008, the Chinese European Arbitration Centre (CEAC), specializing in China-related arbitration, was founded by, among others, the Hanseatic Bar Organization and the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce as well as law firms from Germany and abroad under the patronage of the then Senator of Justice of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Till Steffen. In 2018, CEAC celebrated its tenth anniversary with an international congress with 127 participants (including 50 speakers) from 24 nations. Over the years, Brödermann has taken on various volunteer roles for CEAC (including years as executive director). Since 2021 he is Honorary Chairman of the sponsoring organization Chinese European Arbitration Association.

Lawyers‘ self-government

• Since 2014, Brödermann has been chairman of the joint expert committee on international business law of the Hanseatic Bar Organization Hamburg, the Bar Organization Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Schleswig-Holstein Bar Organization. This committee advises the respective competent boards of the regional bar associations in deciding on the granting of the title "Specialist Lawyer for International Business Law" in accordance with the Specialist Lawyer Regulations.

• From 2001 to 2020, Brödermann was a member of the Executive Board of the Hanseatic Bar Organization (in part, he performed special tasks such as the establishment of CEAC; in part, he also served on the Executive Board). During this time, he prepared numerous statements of the Hanseatic Bar Organization on German and European legislative projects. During this time, he also worked out a cooperation agreement between the University of Hamburg and the Hanseatic Bar Organization and was involved in numerous China, France or Israel related projects of the Hanseatic Bar Organization.

• From 2012 to 2019, Brödermann was a member of the Committee on Private International and Procedural Law of the German Federal Bar Association. In this capacity, he drafted various opinions on German and international legislative or regulatory projects (such as the amendment of the DIS Arbitration Rules in 2017/2018).

• From 2003 to 2007, Brödermann was a member first of a task force and later of the Deregulation Committee of the German Federal Bar Association (Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer BRAK). In this function he supported the BRAK in preparing the ground for numerous changes in the law governing the legal profession in the light of European Union law.

• Brödermann has also been active in various ways over the years in three of the major international bar associations: the International Bar Association IBA (including Chair of the Space Law Committee 2008-2009), the Union Internationale des Avocats UIA, and the Inter-Pacific Bar Association IPBA (including Vice Chair of the International Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Committee 2012-2016).
