The law firm Roden & Minden

The origins of the RODEN & MINDEN partnership date back to the firm founded in the 1950s by the late Fernand ZURN.

Fernand ZURN was a true lawyer in every sense of the word, a craftsman of the law who was totally committed to maintaining direct and personal contact with each and every one of his clients. Head of the Luxembourg Bar from 1972 to 1974, Mr ZURN also became involved in national politics as a Councillor of State, member of the litigation section of the Council of State, alderman of Luxembourg City Council and director of the State Savings Bank (BCEE).

Maître Julien RODEN, admitted to the Luxembourg Bar in 1962, joined Maître ZURN's law firm immediately after being called to the Bar. Today, he is the Dean of the Luxembourg Bar, being the longest-serving lawyer of the Luxembourg Bar.

As President of the Luxembourg Bar Association from 1993 to 1994, Maître RODEN established a distinguished reputation in the then still emerging field of personal injury compensation, an area of practice that remains one of the firm's core specialisations to this day.

In recognition of his expertise in banking and financial law as well as commercial law, Maître RODEN was appointed in 1992 as the liquidator of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International Luxembourg (BCCI).

Maître Jean MINDEN, admitted to the Luxembourg Bar in 1978, joined the law firm of Maîtres ZURN and RODEN at the very beginning of his legal career.

+ 70 years experience

Maître Jean MINDEN († 2026), President of the Luxembourg Bar Association in 2004, possessed exceptional expertise in social security recourse claims and was widely recognised as one of Luxembourg's leading experts in the assessment and compensation of personal injury claims. As a long-standing member of the Commission for the Compensation of Certain Victims of Criminal Offences, he was deeply committed to protecting the rights of victims. His other principal areas of practice included liability and insurance law, employment law and family law.

The law firm Roden & Minden

The origins of the RODEN & MINDEN partnership date back to the firm founded in the 1950s by the late Fernand ZURN.

Julien RODEN, who has been a lawyer since 1962, joined Mr ZURN upon being sworn in as a lawyer. Head of the Luxembourg Bar from 1993 to 1994, Mr RODEN achieved particular prominence in the area of personal injury claims, a little-known field at that time and one in which our firm has specialised ever since. Mr RODEN’s acknowledged expertise in the fields of banking, finance and commercial law resulted in 1992 in his appointment by the courts as liquidator of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Luxembourg (BCCI). Jean MINDEN has been a lawyer since 1978 and joined ZURN & RODEN on commencing practice.

Head of the Luxembourg Bar from 2004 to 2005, Mr MINDEN has extensive experience in the bringing of social security recourses and is one of the leading experts in calculating personal injury compensation. As a result, he has been made a member of the Committee for the compensation of victims of criminal injuries (Commission pour l’indemnisation de certaines victimes de dommages corporels résultant d’une infraction). His other areas of expertise include the law on liability, insurance law, employment law and business criminal law, amongst others.
