What I think:

42

„To me, law isn't just a profession, it's a puzzle.”

In Berlin’s vibrant startup scene, I discovered my niche in law, driven by a simple yet perpetual question: “How can I make the complex seem simple?”. In venture capital law, I found an answer. It’s my playground, a chance to engage with visionary people and radical, world-altering concepts. NEON is the perfect place for this, where we redefine the boundaries of venture capital law just as much as we promote individual style.

To me, law isn’t just a profession, it’s a puzzle. A Rubik’s cube of clauses and contracts that require both creativity and logic. Through this perspective, I’ve learned to recognise the critical moves, the ones that can turn the tide in a high-stakes game of start-ups and stakeholders. My affinity with numbers, which isn’t a given for a lawyer, also fits in very well.

At NEON, I’ve found a law firm that values the unconventional. Instead of tight ties, think of tech-savvy problem solvers who laugh, brainstorm, and break barriers while delivering top-notch legal solutions. We are strategists, confidants, and teammates.

When I peel off my legal cape, I find peace under a dark night sky, by a country campfire, surrounded by my family. It’s that kind of stillness that keeps my inner compass aligned. With the new energy, I’ll be skiing down snow-covered slopes or riding Portuguese waves.
