From 2018, he started specialising in public procurement and state aid law, working for a local public transport authority and for international commercial law firms.

Florian Hensel was admitted to the German Bar in 2020. He began his professional career with Graf von Westphalen (GvW), as a member of the public procurement team in the firm’s Dusseldorf (Germany) office.
