Felix Aiwanger receives University of Munich Law Faculty Prize for his dissertation
The Law Faculty at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has awarded its Faculty Prize for 2023 to Felix Aiwanger, senior research fellow at the Institute. The award commends Aiwanger for his dissertation Jenseits der Haftung. Analyse und Kritik selbstgerechten Vermögensschutzes [Beyond Liability. Analysis and Critique of Self-settled Asset Protection].
The Law Faculty Prize at LMU is given to doctoral students who receive summa cum laude honours in all four curricular units. The award ceremony was held on 18 October 2024 during the Law Faculty’s graduation ceremony. Aiwanger’s dissertation, in which he addresses so-called “asset protection” strategies that shelter private wealth from judgment creditors especially in offshore jurisdictions, had already fetched him the Lieselotte Pongratz Doctoral Prize from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.
Dr Felix Aiwanger studied law at LMU and completed his doctoral studies there in 2023. His research interests have taken him to the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) in Rome and to the law firm of Martin Kenney & Co Solicitors in the British Virgin Islands. He has been at the Institute since January 2024.
