Julia Matthäus

Julia Matthäus studied law at the Philipps University in Marburg and spent two semesters at the Faculté Jean Monnet in Paris. Her focus in law studies was on the study of European legal sources and their implementation in national law.
After her studies, she worked as a research assistant at a chair for labor law and international business law and completed her legal clerkship at the Higher Regional Court of Hamm.

During her legal clerkship, she mainly focused on labor law, in particular with regard to data protection and co-determination obligations to be observed on the entrepreneurial side. In addition to her PhD at Leuphana University, she continues to pursue her part-time work as a legal assistant in an internationally active commercial law firm.

Her research thesis is supervised by Prof. Dr. Terhechte (link) and investigates current developments in antitrust law, in particular the impact of the EU Digital Markets Act, which came into force in November 2022, and the expected enforcement strategy in Germany.
