Philipp Hardung recognized among JUVE’s “40 under 40” for Dispute Resolution

As part of the German legal publication, JUVE has profiled Dr. Philipp F. Hardung, highlighting his career path and his role in further developing Hausfeld’s commercial, capital markets and post-M&A disputes practice in Germany.

The article traces Philipp’s move to Hausfeld in 2021, following earlier roles at Linklaters and Sernetz Schäfer. Since joining the firm as Counsel, Philipp has played a key role in expanding Hausfeld’s disputes offering beyond its well-established strength in antitrust litigation, leading to his promotion to Partner within two years.

JUVE particularly highlights Philipp’s work in commercial and capital markets disputes, including his representation of New York-based hedge funds before German courts. His practice also covers complex post-M&A disputes — an area in which Hausfeld continues to build a strong market profile.

The profile also includes strong client feedback, describing Philipp as an “outstanding lawyer” who combines exceptional legal expertise with a high degree of personal commitment. Clients particularly value his availability, impressive ability to quickly grasp complex facts and his passionate, determined advocacy in negotiations and disputes.

The recognition reflects Hausfeld’s broader strategic development in Germany: building on its leading reputation in competition litigation while further expanding its capabilities in high-value commercial disputes, an area in which Philipp has played an instrumental role.

Highlighted by JUVE, Philipp’s ambition is clear: to help make Hausfeld as well known for commercial and post-M&A litigation as it already is for antitrust proceedings.
