“Solutions with foresight and expertise”
If one knows the big picture, they can see the bigger picture more quickly. That's why I strive for long-term cooperations with my clients. As the first point of contact and hub for all legal matters, I am familiar with the people, structures and processes of a company. This enables me to provide targeted advice and develop tailor-made solutions.
The more complex the legal issues, the more important the strategy. If I want to prevent future problems, I have to think ahead, for example in corporate and contract law or when advising start-ups. I keep an eye on the big picture without forgetting the details. Communication is my strength: I understand my clients and make even complex issues clear to them.
No two days are the same, and I like that. New developments in case law keep me flexible. And walking the dog at the weekend also requires my full attention - otherwise the four-legged companion takes over. When things are happening, I'm in my element.
