Attorney for German Citizenship, Business Immigration and Cross-Border Matters
National borders determine whether you can work, relocate, obtain citizenship or enforce your rights across jurisdictions. In cross-border situations, this often leads to legal uncertainty, procedural hurdles and delays.
I advise and represent clients precisely in these scenarios. My work focuses on business immigration, citizenship law and international private law matters where procedures need to be structured, legally assessed and carried through before authorities or courts.
I take responsibility for your legal process from the initial assessment to the final outcome, with a clear view on risks, options and what can realistically be achieved.
I am a licensed German attorney focusing on international and institutional legal matters.
I studied law in Würzburg and Bielefeld and obtained a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Private International Law from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland). During my legal traineeship, I worked, among others, at the German Federal Foreign Office and within the legal advisory arm of an international professional services firm.
Professional experience as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 company, as a legal advisor with an ESG focus, and as an associate in the employment-based immigration practice of an international law firm has shaped my current approach to legal work - restrained, precise and oriented towards legal enforceability rather than formal completeness or symbolic solutions.
These professional experiences shape my current working methods. Precise, structured and focused on legal enforceability, especially in situations involving complex jurisdictions, procedural frameworks or fragmented information environments.
I am part of international lawyer networks and coordinate cross-border matters in close cooperation with colleagues abroad.

Cross-Border Matters
I advise on cross-border legal matters with a focus on international contract, family, and employment law. Central to my practice is the structured legal assessment of cases involving multiple legal systems, including jurisdiction, choice of law, and the enforceability of rights. Where appropriate, I work with international networks of lawyers to ensure coordinated, consistent handling of matters across jurisdictions.
Institutional Clients
I advise non-governmental organizations, research and educational institutions, media, and other institutional actors on legal access to information, data, and decision-making records. The focus is on cases where relevant information is unavailable or restricted due to institutional barriers, lack of transparency, or cross-border structures. The aim is to establish enforceable access routes for enforcement of available rights.
