Samuel Loibl, LL.M.

In search of challenges, Samuel Loibl quickly moved to Vienna in 2016 to study business law at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. During his studies, he quickly realised his great interest in civil law, which ultimately led him to embark on a career in academic research after completing his Master's degree.

Prof Ernst Karner brought him to the Institute for European Tort Law at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Graz in 2021 as a study assistant and later as a research assistant. Since January 2023, he has been working as a university assistant at the Centre for European Private Law at the University of Graz and is therefore no longer just sitting behind the lecture theatre benches, but is allowed to give lectures himself. His research activities, which are always fuelled by an espresso or two, are by no means limited to tort law and general civil law. As part of his dissertation project, he is rather focussing on the situation in which there is not enough money: the insolvency of the policyholder.
