Vita
Dr Florian Hensel studied law at the University of Bielefeld and at the state distance-learning university in Hagen (LL.M.) (both Germany). In 2023, he received his doctorate from the German University of Administrative Sciences in Speyer (Germany) for a thesis on “The award of water concessions in the light of the 2014 trilogy of EU Directives and the German Public Procurement Law Modernisation Act 2016”. 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. He then moved to Advant Beiten in Munich (Germany), again as a procurement lawyer, working at the same time on his doctoral thesis.
Florian Hensel joined Luther’s Munich office as a procurement lawyer in January 2024. He advises public contractors and bidders across Germany.
