The Covid-19 pandemic persists with new variants emerging. Now almost two years in, governments continue to impose lockdowns, travel restrictions, and other measures to contain the spread of the virus. Interruption to business is broader, including the impact of global natural disasters: hurricanes in the Americas, tsunamis in Asia, volcano eruptions in Iceland. Match this with human error akin to the 2021 Suez Canal Blockage, and important narratives about causation unfold.

Having spent the major part of his career in East Asia and speaking several Asian languages, Dr. Sippel regularly assists companies from the “Western World” with their activities in the Asia Pacific Region, both with their contentious and non-contentious matters.
