Eckart Brödermann is an internationally active German legal scholar, specialist in international business law, arbitrator and author. He is a professor at the University of Hamburg.

Education and admissions to the bar
After graduating from the Johann-Rist-Gymnasium in Wedel near Hamburg in 1977, Brödermann studied three legal systems in France, the USA and Germany. During these studies he also acquired knowledge of other legal systems in selected extracts (China, Japan, Russia; England). He holds degrees from universities in Paris (Licence en droit, 1980; Maîtrise en droit, 1981), Cambridge, Massachusetts Harvard Law School, LL.M., 1983; (East Asian Studies Program), and Hamburg (First State Law Examination, 1987; Dr. jur., 1994). In 1980, he was awarded the title Lauréat du Concours Général by the French Ministry of Universities for his achievements in a competition in legal history.

During his studies, Brödermann has delved into complementary basic legal subjects of international business law, all of which are part of what he calls "bridge building law". Law that can be used to build bridges between nations and unify rights from different states. These are international law, comparative law, private international law, European law and international arbitration law.

Internships have taken him to law firms in Piraeus, Greece (maritime law, 1979) and London (maritime law, 1981). In summer schools in Thessaloniki and The Hague, he has studied space law and private international law.

In 1984, Brödermann was admitted as an Attorney at Law in New York. From 1985-1987, he studied for his third law degree in Hamburg, while working independently as a locally admitted counsel in New York and U.S. federal law. From 1987-1990, Brödermann clerked in Hamburg subsequently with the Hamburg Antitrust Office, with three judges of first instance in administrative law and in civil law (including a judge from a chamber with an IP focus and a judge from a chamber with a private international law specialization) and with both a criminal law appellate Judge and a Judge from the Hamburg Appellate Court in Civil Law Matters. In 2011, Brödermann was admitted as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (London). In 2016, he was awarded the title of specialist lawyer for international business law.

Teaching
Since 1996, Brödermann has taught in various capacities, in particular from 1997 onwards at the University of Hamburg, by which he was appointed professor (on an honorary basis) in 2011 on a life-time basis. He has also guest lectured in China and the US, including in Tianjin for the Hanseatic Bar Organization as part of the China EU School of Law. At Bucerius Law School, he lectured on international plant engineering contracts (2009-2010). Since 1989, he has supported and advised the European Law School Association ELSA, first as an advisor and since 2009 as an advisory board member.

Brödermann's teaching focuses on "bridge building law": in the areas of private international law, comparative law, international contract drafting (with interdisciplinary aspects) and international arbitration law. Since 1989, he is co-author of a case book for students on private international law and international litigation and arbitration (eight editions). Since 2014, Brödermann has supported the University of Hamburg team of the annual student competition Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court, in which students from all over the world competitively draft pleadings in English and argue international commercial law cases before an arbitral tribunal (In 2020/21, the competition included 386 universities). In 2013, Brödermann was the presiding arbitrator in the final of the XXth Willem C. Vis Moot Court in Vienna. In 2020, the University of Hamburg team was placed third worldwide as the "2d runner up".

Since the beginning of his teaching career at the University of Hamburg, Brödermann has been involved, among other things, in the creation and teaching of a supplementary business law course and later LL.M. Asian-European Business Transactions at the University of Hamburg (incl. the accreditation process); this was later discontinued during the establishment of the China EU School of Law. Brödermann was involved in the founding preparations for the China EU School of Law through the Hanseatic Bar Organization.

Research
Since 2004, Brödermann's research has focused on the general legal principles and legal rules of general contract law compiled by the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) between 1971 and 2016 and further developed through comparative law work. i.e. the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT itself is an international organization that emerged from the League of Nations in 1926). In 2018 Brödermann published a commentary on their 2016 edition in English, which was reviewed a total of 35 times in 21 countries and published in a Mandarin translation in China in 2021. Since then, he has been working on country- and market-specific essays (e.g., for Asia, Germany, India, or the U.S.).

Monographs
Since 1980, Brödermann has written several book contributions, books, and numerous articles in Germany and abroad or published them together with colleagues. Over the years, the focus has been on commercial and contract law, civil law, private international law, comparative law, arbitration law, corporate law and insolvency law.
