As an attorney, I advise with a focus on French real estate law, German trademark, media and press law, as well as immigration law. As a German and U.S. citizen educated in the French school system, I grew up immersed in the language and culture and have strong intercultural competence as well as extensive experience in handling German-, French- and English-speaking matters.
I worked for several years at a renowned notary in Paris and completed my legal training at a specialized media law firm. During my legal clerkships, I had the opportunity to work at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and at the French Council of State (Conseil d’État) in Paris, within its 7th Chamber, dealing in particular with disputes concerning defence, public institutions, and public procurement and concessions.
In Paris, I completed a Master 2 in French constitutional law.
This combination of notarial transactional practice, an attorney’s perspective, and insights into ministerial work as well as highest-level administrative adjudication shapes my advice: thorough, efficient, linguistically and culturally clear - and, above all, commercially minded.
