About Me

Philipp was recommended in the EMEA edition of the Legal 500 directory as “strong in strategy and negotiation”.

Philipp has an international legal background which enables him to advise across borders.

He specialises in corporate, banking and finance matters, including funds law.

Philipp looks back on and can draw on experience as a lawyer in England & Wales, Luxembourg and Germany. He is admitted to the bar in all these countries and exercises rights of audience before the courts of these countries.

Because of his international experience, Philipp has advised former cabinet ministers of the Luxembourg government on matters of European competition law. In recognition of his experience, the University of Luxembourg appointed Philipp Simon as Chargé de Cours Associé (Lecturer), where he teaches at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance.

More recently, he has been involved, among other things, in the authorisation of Salus Alpha SICAV, the first self-managing SICAV to be authorised by the CSSF for some time.

Philipp is the author of the chapter on Luxembourg company law in the “Handbuch des internationalen GmbH-Rechts”.

His membership of the renowned law firm “Gatehouse Chambers” in the heart of London enables Philipp Simon to offer reliable and efficient services on both sides of the Channel.
