Christian Knust Email & Phone Number

28+ years experience in the automotive, chemical & electronics industries. Expert business lead counsel in commercial, engineering and IP matters. Strong and pragmatic cross-functional team player, proactive and self-organized. I should have become an engineer, really, but the next best thing to being an actual engineer is being embedded in tech platforms. Providing creative legal and business advice to engineers and scientists creating exciting technologies as well as negotiating solid agreements with partners and customers face to face anywhere in the world is my fuel. Automotive product liability, locomotive engineering, vehicle safety, fuel cell R&D, solar cell chemistry, M&A, roll-to-roll-printing, novel display and lighting technology development, international collaborations, EC and U.S. R&D funding, governmental relations, antitrust matters - you name it, I´ve been probably involved in it at some point during my career.
