After passing the first state examination Paul spent three months traveling South and Central America before beginning his legal clerkship in Hamburg in August 2018. During the two-year clerkship, he was a stagiaire i.a. at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission in Brussels, the antitrust department of a major international law firm in Hamburg, and the 13th Civil Law Senate of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court. Before Paul joined us at the Chair, he worked for a boutique law firm in Berlin specializing in antitrust law, public procurement law, and foreign trade law.

Karsten Kamps

From 2011 until 2015 Karsten studied at the University of Bayreuth ‘Philosophy and Economics’ (B.A.) with a special focus on political philosophy and institutional economics. After receiving his Bachelor degree he absolved the ‘European Master Program in Law and Economics’ (LL.M.) at the University of Hamburg. In doing so, Karsten extended his knowledge on the economic analysis of law and also studied for a trimester at the University of Haifa (Israel), where he also got involved in the behavioral analysis of law. Following his Master degree Karsten joined the graduate school on ‘The economic analysis of the internationalization of the law’ at the Institut für Recht und Wirtschaft in Hamburg. At our chair he uses these insights to analyze antirust issues with an international dimension.
In his spare time Karsten is an enthusiastic triathlete and spends (in his own words) „too much time“ on twitter.
