Dr. Lars Blady, LL.M. (Nottingham)
Lawyer
Certified mediator (FU Hagen)
About the person
Dr. Lars Blady, LL.M. has been working as a Lawyer and trained Mediator for FEHN LEGAL’s Hamburg medical law team since 2024. He is now known nationwide as an excellent medical lawyer thanks to his extensive expertise in providing legal advice to doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical and medtech companies. His deep knowledge comes from the fact that he knows the healthcare sector from different perspectives – as an in-house lawyer from the in-house perspective of a large hospital group, as a management consultant with a medico-economic lens and as a board advisor to a large hospital service provider from the perspective of a company manager. When negotiating on behalf of his clients, he can therefore always act on an equal footing with his counterpart and anticipates their arguments – and can often achieve a better result for his clients.
In his previous legal work in a specialized medical law firm, Dr. Blady played a key role in being named a TOP LAW FIRM in medical law by WirtschaftsWoche in 2020 and 2021. In addition to his legal work, Dr. Blady is a Senior Associate and team leader of a respected Berlin management consultancy in the healthcare sector. In his free time he enjoys traveling, playing football passionately and keeping his fingers crossed for FC St. Pauli.
