Dr. Annette Schwab

Initially, I was equally drawn to law, psychology and journalism for their exploration of human behavior and storytelling. My fascination with people – their quirks, their stories and the truths behind their facades – pushed me towards a career where I could follow that curiosity. On top of that, I just love to argue and if needed I can be quite decisive. Looking back my joy in debating was likely the deciding factor in ultimately becoming a litigator. With this choice I’ve made the right move: I love it even more now than I did on the first day of my career.

It makes me proud and happy to hear that people often say interacting with me leaves them more uplifted and energized than before. I’m naturally curious about legal puzzles and enjoy the intellectual challenge they present. While always scouting for the best local coffee, I’m keen on engaging in vivid discussions on whatever controversial topic.

My perfect retreat is simple: enjoying the sunshine on our balcony with a coffee and the newspaper. These moments recharge me for the high-level intellectual and strategic challenges of my job at NEON.
