M. Bo Hillebrand
I am a lawyer specialising in food law, tobacco law and product compliance. After studying law in Hamburg and completing my legal clerkship at the Higher Regional Court of Schleswig, I began my career in 2012 at a law firm focused on food law, advising leading companies in the nutrition and food supplements industry.
At a Hamburg commercial law firm, I broadened my advisory portfolio to include cosmetics law, pharmaceutical law, medical devices law and regulatory administrative law. Since 2017, a particular focus has been on the legal aspects of electronic cigarettes, refill containers, shisha tobacco and tobacco-free smoking products. In 2020, I established my own practice in Arnis on the Schlei and today advise companies across Germany in the e-cigarette and consumer goods sectors.
