Sven von Below has been admitted to the bar since 2001 and has been a certified specialist in labor law since 2015. He advises and represents employees and employers in all matters of labor law — from termination and warnings to severance agreements, as well as issues related to compensation and business transfers.
A second area of focus is travel and tourism law, to which he has dedicated himself for over 20 years. He represents travelers in enforcing their claims against airlines and tour operators — in cases of flight delays, flight cancellations, overbookings, package tour defects, and cruise disputes. He has successfully represented his clients’ interests in more than 2,000 travel law cases, including waves of litigation related to strikes and cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, he advises travel companies on litigation and travel contract matters.
As a member of the German Society for Travel Law (DGfR), he is well-known in professional circles as well as a go-to contact for the media.
For travelers seeking an initial legal assessment, he has established the portal flug-reise-recht.eu — featuring a compensation calculator and a free initial assessment.
Sven von Below is married and has two children.
