Dr. Philipp Nagel
Rechtsanwalt, admitted in Germany since 2013.
I act as a business partner: practical, actionable advice, an efficient legal function, and risk management that fits the risk. Whether your team needs extra capacity, specialist support or ongoing strategic input, I become part of the way you work.
Before founding nagel.law, I worked as a lawyer in international law firms and in-house, including as General Counsel of a Swiss-American deep tech start-up and as EU General Counsel of a listed U.S. technology company.
My work covers the full span of in-house legal: commercial transactions, IP strategy, regulatory compliance, data privacy, ESG and supply chain, public sector procurement, and legal operations.
