Why I chose to work as a lawyer and how I work? 

To understand economic and legal coherences has already been a special 
interest of mine during my schooldays. To work as a self employed counsellor matches 
perfectly with my personal attitude. The personal client relationship is, 
according to my conviction, the key factor of competent counselling. 
I am aware that important details of the facts often come out 
only during counselling interviews and therefore I invest a lot of time 
for the analysis of the facts. In cases of the assertion of claims I thoroughly check 
the legal positions from the very beginning. I have made the experience that thereby out of court settlements can be encouraged.More than half of my litigations could be 
terminated by settlements, so far.

Client’s value:

• Detailed assessment of the enforceability of claims 
• Concentration on the core business through competent legal counselling 
• International experience 
• Knowledge of alternative dispute resolution methods
