Institute for International Business Law
Prof. Dr. Gerald Mäsch
Professor of Civil Law, Commercial and Business Law, Private International Law and Comparative Law
Profile
The Chair of Civil Law, Commercial and Business Law, Private International Law and Comparative Law is headed by Prof. Dr Gerald Mäsch and is part of the Institute for International Business Law. Prof Mäsch was appointed its director in the summer term of 2004, succeeding Prof. Berger.
The special thing about the chair here is its unusual tasks. In addition to its normal teaching activities, the chair is also involved in two very ambitious projects: the organisation of the Moot Court team and the supervision of the Law Clinic. In both cases, the students are required to show legal creativity and initiative, albeit in different forms, which are the exception in everyday university life. Anyone interested in this programme is welcome to find out more on our homepage or in a personal conversation with one of our staff.
Prof. Mäsch's team will be happy to answer any questions students and other interested parties may have about the chair.
