She is highly experienced, and really knows what the judges will be thinking and how to put the argument best so that it will appeal to them. She is excellent on strategy as well ”:  Chambers, itself, refers to Bettina as a “Top-class lawyer ”.   The Chambers researchers describe KNOETZL Partner and Head of Arbitration Florian Haugeneder as a “leader in arbitration proceedings on a variety of finance and construction issues ”. Chambers continues, about KNOETZL Partner Patrizia Netal: “She is increasingly visible in the arbitration market, with cases primarily relating to post-M&A disputes and construction.”  A grateful client says of her: “She was fully dedicated to the case “. Chambers also recommends KNOETZL Partner Emmanuel Kaufman for “inter alia, matters regarding bilateral international treaties”.
