Profile

Individual. Fast. Cost-transparent.

As a lawyer with over 15 years of experience, I advise primarily companies (e.g., agencies, e-commerce and IT companies, energy and real estate companies, hotels and restaurants, food wholesalers) and freelancers (e.g., medical practices) throughout Germany on commercial law matters, particularly with regard to data protection law and intellectual property law. I primarily represent private individuals in cases involving alleged or suffered violations of their personal rights.

In addition to my professional expertise and extensive practical experience, reliability, a prompt approach, and clear, personal communication form the foundation for my often long-term client relationships.

The fees for my services are calculated based on the provisions of the Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG). I will always inform you of the specific fee conditions before engaging you.

My range of services includes, in particular, the following legal areas. I look forward to hearing from you.
