Prior to starting his career as an attorney, Moritz headed the cabinet of the President of the EFTA Court, Prof. Carl Baudenbacher (2007 to 2012). His responsibilities included counselling the President with regard to the Court’s cases and drafting judgments under the President’s direction, amongst them a number of cases on State aid as well as the widely reported Norway Post case (on abuse of dominance through exclusive distribution agreements).

Before joining Prof. Baudenbacher in Luxembourg, he worked as one of his research assistants at University of St.Gallen HSG’s Institute for European and International Business Law. He has published on a wide range of issues of European economic and business law; inter alia, he is a co-author of the Munich Commentary on European and German Competition Law. He continues to contribute to the ELR as editorial director for State aid law. In the two years prior to joining Starlinger Mayer attorneys-at-law, Moritz finished his training as an attorney working as a Rechtsreferendar at, amongst others, Latham & Watkins LLP in Brussels and Fiebinger Polak Leon attorneys-at-law, Vienna.
