In remembrance of Gerald Spindler

We are deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected death of Gerald Spindler, professor at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, who passed away on 11 September 2023 at the age of 62 years.

Gerald Spindler was an outstanding intellect whose expertise extended to corporate and capital markets law as well as to internet, IT, copyright and e-commerce law. As a long-standing member of our advisory board, he was a valuable and selfless advisor. As a regular participant and co-organizer of our corporate law conferences in Germany and abroad, he was of indispensable assistance given his broad professional knowledge, his ease with foreign languages, and his winning personality. As recently as May 2023, we benefited from his participation as an inspiring speaker at the German-Spanish Symposium at the Universidad Autónoma in Madrid.

With the death of Gerald Spindler we lose a kind-hearted, humorous, and highly approachable colleague and friend of the Institute. Our thoughts are with his family.
