BridgehouseLaw is proud to announce that Reinhard von Hennigs, Chairman and Founder of BridgehouseLaw LLP, has been elected to serve on the McGeorge School of Law International Board of Advisors through July 2031.

For Reinhard, this appointment represents more than a professional milestone, it is a full-circle moment. What began years ago as a decision to pursue an LL.M. in International Business Law at McGeorge has grown into a lifelong relationship with one of the world’s leading institutions for international legal education. Since graduating, he has returned to McGeorge as a guest speaker, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) lecturer, mentor, and was recognized as one of the law school’s Top 100 Distinguished Alumni.

As a member of the International Board of Advisors, Reinhard will help support McGeorge’s global mission by strengthening its international programs, mentoring future legal professionals, expanding its worldwide alumni network, and helping prepare the next generation of lawyers for the increasingly interconnected practice of law.

Throughout his career, Reinhard has dedicated himself to building bridges between legal systems, cultures, and businesses. As Chairman of BridgehouseLaw LLP, Honorary Consul of Germany, and an attorney admitted in both Germany and North Carolina, he has spent nearly three decades advising companies on cross-border legal matters while speaking internationally, publishing four books, and mentoring more than 200 young lawyers and interns.

Reflecting on his appointment, Reinhard shared that what excites him most is not the title itself, but the opportunity to give back to the institution that helped shape his international legal career and to help prepare future lawyers for success in an increasingly global legal profession.

We congratulate Reinhard on this well-deserved appointment and look forward to the continued leadership, experience, and international perspective he brings to both the legal profession and the clients of BridgehouseLaw.
