Team - Lutgen + Associés

André Lutgen

During my long experience in defending company directors in criminal proceedings, I have found that behind each business manager there is an individual with his own feelings and awareness. We need to accompany him, acting as a legal professional throughout proceedings, which are often much too long, while supporting him during the personal upheaval that marks this period, which is often perceived as a life-changing experience. <

Pierre Hurt

Following my doctorate thesis and after several years teaching at the Universities of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne and Paris 5 René Descartes, I continued my academic activities at the University of Luxembourg, whist at the same time becoming a lawyer. I am convinced that a demanding professional practice does not in any way preclude a high level of theoretical competence – just the opposite. <

Florent Kirmann

Following a PhD in criminal business law, I decided to join Lutgen + Associés in order to put my theoretical knowledge into action. The several years spent writing my PhD and teaching at the University of Lorraine enable me to acquire the necessary skills to provide clear and specific advice to clients not only in relation to criminal business law issues, which is my area of expertise, but also more generally on litigation and criminal law matters. <

Géraldine Mersch

At a very young age, I decided to become a lawyer. Little did I know what this profession would offer. Being confronted to new legal issues on a daily basis and maintaining constant exchange with clients and other professionals in the legal field contribute to my professional fulfilment. I assist my clients with rigour, investment and passion. Besides my work at the Lutgen + Associés, I spend my time and energy on other tasks linked to the Bar Association, especially as a member of the Committee for criminal law and as a Vice-President of the Young Bar Association. <

Clara Bourgi

Committed, conscientious, and determined, I am dedicated to defending my clients’ interests. For the past ten years, I have offered them my attentive ear, creativity, and expertise to carefully guide them through complex judicial and administrative proceedings. I am deeply committed to rigorously and effectively developing an appropriate defense strategy, whether in administrative, civil, or criminal matters. I particularly thrive in criminal proceedings, where I must solve not only legal issues but also address organizational and human considerations. Over the years, I have developed in-depth forensic skills to refine my understanding of cases, conduct internal investigations, and respond to requests from judicial authorities, including in the context of international letters rogatory – always with a passionate approach. <

Chahinese Baghdad

Eager to broaden my academic background beyond the legal field, I studied at Sciences Po Paris, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, followed by a Master’s degree in Economic Law with a specialization in Economic Litigation and Arbitration. This program allowed me to explore a wide range of contentious matters, involving both national and international issues, and to sharpen my ability to navigate across different legal fields. My professional experience, including a gap year internship at a law firm in Paris, and my personal commitments have continuously strengthened my calling to become a lawyer. After being admitted to the Luxembourg Bar, I joined the law firm Lutgen & Associés. Diligent and dedicated, I approach each case with a strong sense of attentiveness and efficiency. <
