About us
Due to its large number of traders, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg represents an important economic center of Germany. In order to understand and legally pursue this as well as the position of the "more worthy of protection" consumer, legal understanding in the field of commercial law is indispensable, which is why our professorship deals with the fundamental problems of commercial and consumer law in the German as well as international legal system.
