André PRÜM is Professor in law at the University of Luxembourg since 2005 where he holds the Chair in Financial and Business Law.
He served as founding Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg for seven years until 2012 building it up to become the largest faculty of the university.
In June 2014, the University Laval, Québec-City, Canada awarded him an honorary doctorate “for his outstanding contribution to legal science as well as his leadership in university management”.
He is regularly invited as visiting professor, most recently by Columbia Law School in New York, the Université Laval in Québec, the European University Institute in Florence, the University of Paris I Sorbonne and the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. Qualified as French Law professor (Professeur agrégé des Facultés de droit de France), he held, before joining the University of Luxembourg, a position at the University of Lorraine (1995-2005).
André Prüm’s research areas focus on banking and financial law, company law and corporate governance, contract law, Luxembourg law, European and transnational commercial law and arbitration. He is the author of several books and publishes regularly on those topics in European and international legal journals.
During the last twenty years, André Prüm has been strongly involved in the modernization of Luxembourg’s legal infrastructure. The government of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg requested him to prepare major reforms of Luxembourg business law leading in particular to a complete overhaul of company law, the introduction of the law on securitization, the first law on electronic commerce, a law on trusts and fiduciary contracts as well as a reform of competition law.
André Prüm is regularly requested to issue legal opinions on Luxembourg, French and European law and to serve as an arbitrator in international and national litigations.
André Prüm has constantly been involved in the management of universities and research institutions acting for ten years as director of the Laboratory of Economic Law, a research department of the Centre de Recherche Public Gabriel Lippmann; chairing the Centre de Recherche en droit privé of the University of Nancy 2 (1998-2005) and serving on the boards of the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris XI (1993-1996) and of the Faculty of Law and Economics of the University of Nancy 2 (1998-2003).
He is a board member of the AXA group insurance companies in Luxembourg, Credit Suisse ( Luxembourg), Kneip Communications SA and Cluster Management SA.. He previously held a management position at the Banque Paribas’ International legal department (Paris) and was a managing partner of a law firm in France. He is a member of several learned societies and serves as a President of the “ section des sciences morales et politiques” of the Institut grand-ducal.
André Prüm (born in 1961) is a Luxembourg national. He is married and father of two children and lives with his family in Luxembourg since 1996.

Born in 1961, André Prüm is Professor of Financial and Business Law and was Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance at the University of Luxembourg from 2005 through the end of the 2011/2012 academic year.
André Prüm’s research areas focus on banking and financial law, transnational commercial law and European contract law. He is the author of several books and publishes regularly on those topics in European legal journals such as the “Revue de Droit Bancaire et Financier” (LexisNexis) or the “Corporate Finance and Capital Markets Law Review” (Thompson-Transactive). Together with Ole Lando, Eric Clive and Reinhard Zimmermann he has edited the Principles of European Contract Law, Part III, prepared by the Commission on European Contract Law (Kluwer Law International, 2003).
During the last fifteen years, André Prüm has been strongly involved in the modernization of Luxembourg’s legal infrastructure. In 1996, he created the Luxembourg Laboratory of Economic Law. The government of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg has mandated him to prepare major reforms of Luxembourg business law leading in particular to a complete overhaul of company law, the introduction of the law on securitization, the first law on electronic commerce, a law on trusts and fiduciary contracts as well as a reform of competition law. André Prüm has been recognized for this work as one of the top 100 most influential persons in Luxembourg (Paperjam Top 100, January 2011, rank 66/100).
He received his PhD in law in 1992 from the University of Montpellier (France) obtaining the highest reward for his research on the “Autonomy of Guarantees on First Demand”. In 1992 he was appointed Associate Professor (“maître de conferences”) at the University of Paris XI where he was granted, in 1994, the approval to direct research (“habilitation à diriger les recherches”). In 1995 he was successful in the French National Competition for Law Professors (“concours national d’agrégation”) to become a qualified law professor (“professeur agrégé des facultés de droit”) and was offered a Chair in commercial law at the University of Nancy 2. Since his appointment at the University of Luxembourg he continues to act as a visiting professor at the University of Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne and at the University of Paris 2, Panthéon-Assas where he teaches European banking and financial law.
André Prüm’s teaching and research activities build on practical experience in counseling and arbitration. He serves as a board member of the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI), AXA Luxembourg, KNEIP Communication and “Ecouter pour Mieux s’Entendre”, a charity foundation. He is also a member of the Independent Panel of the European Central Bank. Before becoming a full-time University professor, he was a practicing lawyer in France and a member of the Paribas SA’s international legal team.
