Attorney specialisied in criminal law - dedicated solely to this area of practice

Since I passed the bar exam in 2014, I have been working exclusively as a lawyer specialising in criminal law. I hold the German title of Specialist Lawyer for Criminal Law (“Fachanwalt für Strafrecht”) and therefore only advise and defend my clients in criminal law, not in other areas of law. I have been involved in many high profile cases and am a trusted advisor to a wide range of individuals.

Throughout university and during my legal clerkship, my main focus was in criminal law and criminal proceedings. I worked for the public prosecutor’s office in Berlin, a criminal lawyer in New Zealand and Linklaters LLP, among others.

After initially working for several years with experienced lawyers in two renowned Berlin criminal law firms, I founded my own law firm specialising in criminal law in 2017.

In addition to my work as a lawyer, I am a lecturer in criminal law and criminal procedure law and support the Berlin Court of Appeal in training future lawyers, judges and public prosecutors.
