Dr. Ansgar Baumgarten has been a lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) at LOH Rechtsanwälte since 2024 and has also served as a deputy notary since 2025.

After studying law at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Dr. Baumgarten obtained a Maîtrise en droit from Université Panthéon-Assas in Paris and an LL.M. from King’s College London. He then worked as a research assistant at the Chair of Public Law, in particular Environmental Law and European Law, at Freie Universität Berlin. His doctoral thesis on European administrative and constitutional law was published by Mohr Siebeck in 2026. Dr. Baumgarten completed his practical legal training at the Kammergericht, the Higher Regional Court of Berlin, from 2020 to 2022 before joining an international law firm as a research assistant.
