His main fields of research were public law (especially constitutional and administrative law, economic administrative law, antitrust and regulation law, natural resources law), European law (especially cartel and regulation law, common trade policies, customs law, European administrative law and the EU's foreign relations) and international law (especially WTO law and international competition & cartel law, investment protection law, state immunity and international administrative law). He represented clients before many institutions including the European Commission, the German Constitutional Court and civil courts.

Prof. Dr. Jörg Philipp Terhechte was co-editor of the European Yearbook of International Economic Law and member of the editorboard (Mitarbeiter in der Schriftleitung) of the journal “EUROPARECHT”. He worked on numerous commentaries on constitutional and administrative law and the law of the European Union.
