I am an experienced lawyer, fully bilingual in English and German, with almost three decades of experience acting for UK and international clients.I have considerable breadth of exposure and experience in corporate and commercial law. My expertise includes M&A and cross-border transactions, joint ventures / shareholder agreements, commercial agreements, contract negotiation, corporate restructuring, corporate governance, business partnering and conflict of law. I also specialise in non-contentious employment law.I am passionate about the Law and take great pride in the work I do. With a strong understanding of the frequently competitive nature of legal, business and personal dynamics, I deliver practical, cost-effective solutions and always strive to achieve the best outcomes for my clients.An influential communicator with a team-focussed leadership style, I effectively manage expectations, quickly distil large amounts of complex information quickly and swiftly target important issues to achieve successful resolution. I live by core values of trust, integrity, and collaboration. I challenge assumptions and explore new ways to facilitate solutions, through broad technical knowledge, a progressive viewpoint on risk, and balanced judgment. I am confident about working through issues with no established legal pathway, delivering to time-critical deadlines, and adapting to changing needs.In addition to being a practising solicitor, I am also admitted as an Attorney at Law to the New York Bar, am member of an international network of lawyers (ILG) and have strong links with the German, Austrian and Swiss business communities.I am often asked what I love most about my role: it is engaging with people, solving complex problems, and adding value through well-thought-out solutions.I am always happy to be contacted for any kind of legal question. If I can’t help, it's most likely I know someone who can. Please message me via LinkedIn.
