Markus Dörig

About

Markus Dörig has specialized in private insurance law for over 20 years. He also represents the insurance industry in international matters involving complex coverage issues, the permissibility and specific features of insurance products, and regulatory matters. Earlier in his career, Markus Dörig acquired expertise in business administration and practiced at an international law firm in the United States, an experience that helped shape his approach as a business lawyer. He serves on the boards of several companies across a range of industries.

“As a lawyer, I still firmly believe that 'the client is king'. The client is entitled, first, to my personal availability, and second, to advice provided in a timely manner that is both legally sound and takes the specific circumstances into account in order to find the right strategy or solution for them.
For more than 30 years, what has fascinated me about my profession has been not only the law itself, but also the opportunity to meet my clients’ expectations and the process of developing the right solution. As my professional energy is far from exhausted, I intend to continue making a meaningful difference for my clients for many years to come. I find the balance that is essential to my work in my family and in sports.”

Markus Dörig speaks German and English.
