In each issue of our newsletter, people from our firm introduce themselves personally. This time, it is the turn of product and liability lawyer Felix Horster from our Cologne office.

I was born and raised in Cologne and can therefore call myself a "kölschen Jung" (a Cologne boy). I stayed there until I graduated from high school. For my studies I moved to the beautiful university city of Freiburg im Breisgau. At the Dreisam, I spent almost three years learning the legal tools I use today.

However, before completing my studies, I was drawn back to the cathedral city of my childhood, so I completed my studies in Cologne. My legal clerkship took me all over the Rhineland from Aachen via Bonn to Düsseldorf.

There, I was able to gain experience in antitrust and patent law. Today, I can apply this experience, especially in the technical field, to product safety and product liability law, which I work on in Prof. Dr. Lenz's department, in addition to insurance law and law relating to the law of the courts.

Beyond the legal side of things, I enjoy traveling and cycling, and I almost always have a camera with me - and in the best case scenario, all three can be combined.
