Out of Conviction.
With years of experience and a clear focus on the realities my clients face, I practice employment law with a strong commitment to defending the rights of employees and their representatives. This is not about off-the-shelf solutions – it’s about strategies tailored to your individual situation.
I provide clear, understandable, and solution-oriented advice.
You’ll receive an honest assessment, straightforward guidance, and representation that consistently puts your interests first – whether in negotiations or in court. I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and work with you to find a path forward.
Clear. Personal. Assertive.
I give your rights a strong voice.

About Me.
I completed my law studies with a focus on employment and social law at the University of Würzburg and the University of Helsinki. I then completed my legal traineeship (Referendariat) at the Berlin Court of Appeal (Kammergericht) and worked as in-house Legal Counsel at a Berlin-based startup.
Since being admitted to the bar in 2021, I have been advising employees and works councils across Germany on all aspects of individual and collective employment law. Before founding my own practice, I gained valuable hands-on experience at a renowned Berlin employment law firm specializing in the representation of employees and works councils.
In addition to my legal practice, I have also been active as a trainer in employment law since 2022 – driven by a passion for making complex legal topics accessible and easy to understand.
I'm happy to advise you in either German or English.
Member of the German Women Lawyers' Association (Deutscher Juristinnenbund).
