About Hubert Petre

Disclaimer: I care passionately about fundamental rights and the rule of law and I often comment on matters related to these topics on LinkedIn. These comments reflect my (strong) personal opinions; I do not speak on behalf of my was in private practice for more than 13 years, during which I did mostly commercial, advertising and IP litigation. I started working for Henkel in 2008 as an in-house counsel, where I dealt with a wide range of legal issues in four jurisdictions and three languages. I was in the Henkel Public Affairs team from September 2011 to April 2015, and was in charge of all non-product related matters with a particular focus on trade and political risk analysis. After a period spent on several personal projects and job hunting, I joined the Philip Morris International Law Department in November 2016 as Legal Counsel Benelux. I was also trained and serve as a compliance investigator.At heart I am a problem-solver and an advocate. I am also adaptable, quick and efficient, with a strong creative streak. Although I am independent and self-starting, I like to work with colleagues and appreciate their insights and experience.
