Klaus Nyblin has significant experience as a strategic advisor in situations where companies have been in the middle of a major legal crisis and the situation requires careful management of stakeholder relations and a prompt and consistent response to public demands.
In addition to providing strategic counselling, Nyblin Attorneys serves clients in the organisation of internal investigations. In the event of a legal crisis, an internal investigation is often necessary to examine the incident in detail. The investigation must be objective and of a high standard to meet the requirements of the stakeholders.
With an attorney coordinating an internal investigation, the process can also take Attorney-client privilege into consideration. While it is necessary for the client to obtain an accurate and reliable account of what has happened, they must take care of their procedural position in case a regulatory investigation is initiated in relation to the same matter.
Klaus Nyblin has 25 years of experience in demanding dispute resolution. He has represented companies and other clients in general courts, arbitration proceedings and administrative courts. He has also appeared before the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg.

Nyblin is known for his skill in dispute resolution in highly regulated industries, among others.
Nyblin works in an analytical and strategic manner. Right at the start of the assignment, it is necessary to assess the consequences of the selected approaches and, as the process continues, to proactively monitor future turns of events and their significance.

Expert opinions submitted to a public body or court of law are drawn up as part of an attorney's assignment from the client; however, at the same time, the opinions are objective in that all legal grounds that influence the assessment of the questions submitted are taken into account in a balanced manner.
