Sebastian is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow with the CCP. He holds a degree in Law from Potsdam University (2004), an LLM in Competition Policy (2008) and a PhD (2011) from the University of East Anglia.

In his PhD thesis Sebastian scrutinised the assumptions which underpin EU private antitrust enforcement policy contrasting them with novel litigation data, a law and economic assessment of the current policy and a comparison of remedies used in antitrust litigation in England and Germany.

His main research area is the private enforcement of competition law, the economic analysis of law and comparative law. Sebastian has undertaken empirical work in the field of antitrust enforcement and is currently working with a unique litigation dataset. Other research projects deal with comparative law including European, German, English and US competition law, litigation systems and class actions. He is also interested in the interplay of private and public law enforcement and enforcement institutions. His work is extending into the analysis of Article 102 and consumer protection. For past projects he has worked on merger control and consumer protection laws.
