Based on his international expertise, Philipp has advised former government ministers of Luxembourg on European Competition Law matters and has been appointed Chargé de Cours Associé by the University of Luxembourg, where he teaches at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance. Philipp is widely respected for his strong analytical skills combined with creative thinking.

Philipp’s pre Bar experience includes working for the German Embassy in London and the Banking, Finance and Investment Funds department of an international law firm in Luxembourg.

Philipp retains strong links with the German and Luxembourgish Bar and is a member in MMS-Avocats, which provides him with a base to serve and meet his clients when acting abroad.

Philipp is happy to accept instructions in German and Luxembourgish.
