    She has served as a senior professional with a leading Swiss provider of legal finance solutions which she continues to advise on matters pertaining to Austria & the CEE region. Alice is familiar with the needs of clients seeking financing as well as the strategic objectives of funders and their investors. She has extensive experience conducting due diligence and providing clients with detailed risk assessments and practical evaluations of whether a certain finance or risk insurance solution aligns with their needs.  She also assists in negotiating litigation funding agreements and, thanks to her wide network across the litigation finance industry, connects clients with suitable funding partners.  

    Alice also brings a decade of leadership experience from the Vienna International Arbitral Centre (VIAC), one of the leading arbitration and mediation institutions in the CEE and SEE region, where she served as Deputy and later Secretary General for 10 years. In this capacity, she oversaw case management, guided several revisions of the VIAC Rules, introduced technological advancements, such as a digital file-sharing platform, and expanded business development across the region. Performing this role over a decade further deepened her understanding of dispute resolution in CEE and SEE jurisdictions.
