Felix Werner’s practice focuses on legal compliance matters, internal investigations, public prosecutors’ investigations including dawn raids, and corporate governance. His corporate governance practice comprises the development, structure and implementation of global compliance management systems and advising of management boards regarding obligations under criminal law.

In addition, he counsels clients on corporate social responsibility, including environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) matters, and supply chain due diligence. He has vast experience in advising clients both on EU legislations such as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the EU Deforestation Regulation and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. This also covers the intersection to whistleblower legislation, lobbying, and Greenwashing.

Felix is an active member of Hogan Lovells' global ESG group as well as the Business & Human Rights group. He publishes regularly on ESG compliance matters.

Felix studied law in Berlin and Milan. Subsequently, he wrote a dissertation on the personal liability of managers for violations of antitrust law. While completing his doctorate, Felix worked at international law firms in Berlin and Vienna and gained valuable experience in the field of antitrust law and compliance. During his legal clerkship, he worked for the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in Germany and at two international law firms.
