Christian Neef

Christian Neef works primarily in competition, trademark, design and copyright law. He not only represents well-known clothing manufacturers, but also music publishers, performing artists, producers and songwriters. In doing so, he benefits from his interdisciplinary knowledge of intellectual property and copyright law, as, not least in the music industry, the trademark rights of artists and their copyrights must be enforced and protected hand in hand. He not only advises his clients, but is also frequently involved in forensic work on their behalf.

Christian Neef studied law at the Georg-August University of Göttingen with semesters abroad, including at Lomonossov University in Moscow. After being admitted to the bar in 2009, he worked for a Hamburg law firm specialized in competition, copyright and trademark law. Parallel to this, he built up a law firm which focused its activities exclusively on the enforcement of copyrights and which represented well-known music artists, producers and composers as well as labels and music publishers in this area. In 2013, Christian Neef was certified as a specialist lawyer in copyright and media law. After several years working in a national law firm, Christian Neef joined our Hamburg team of lawyers at the beginning of 2024.
