A coffee first
“Between strategy and pragmatism.”
I enjoy tackling legal challenges with a structured and analytical mindset — always keeping an eye on the bigger picture. My background in Corporate and Real Estate law, combined with an interest in business strategy, allows me to approach cases from both a legal and entrepreneurial perspective. Persistence and precision drive my work, ensuring that I provide clients with clear and effective solutions.
Had I not pursued law, I might have become an architect or a farmer — two paths that, in their own way, require vision and patience. My time working in agriculture after my second state exam gave me a unique, hands-on perspective that continues to shape my work today. My “happy place”? Either in the city, walking through Charlottenburg Palace Gardens, or out in nature, enjoying the open space and fresh air.
At NEON, I appreciate the dynamic exchange of ideas and the opportunity to contribute from day one. I thrive on working with clients who value direct communication and trust in a collaborative approach. The best ideas often come in conversation — sometimes over a good glass of wine — where different perspectives help shape the right strategy.
Outside of work, I clear my head by jogging and enjoy singing in a choir. No matter the setting, my goal remains the same: to stay curious, think ahead, and help turn complex challenges into structured success.
