Recht für Markt und Wettbewerb
What we can achieve together:
What we can achieve together: Useful expert advice is the result of a dialogue. Who wants to convince, listens. Who listens, understands. Who understands, can find solutions together. I will stand by your side as a partner, at eye level, attentive, down to earth, reliable, and with natural self-confidence. I only accept instructions for which I have the necessary legal expertise and which I can handle in the time given. Should I know a legal expert better suited to your needs than what I can offer, I shall be pleased to make an introduction.
Business partner. Competitor. Opponent:
Success can only be reaped by those who integrate the views of all involved in their considerations. Then there is a chance to reconcile interests and dissolve differences. In certain cases, litigation is preferable. Only rarely is the outcome of legal proceedings a surprise. The decision to go to court or to arbitration I will consider and prepare together with you. I have strong litigation skills and take pleasure in legal disputes, while remaining fact-oriented and realistic.
What I can bring to your concern:
Pragmatism and a commitment to the highest professional standards. Dedication and straightforwardness. Experience and inquisitiveness. I am passionate about what I do. Competition motivates me. I want your expectations to be high and your questions to be challenging. As reflected in my career and achievements to date.
Following the guiding principle “Recht für Markt und Wettbewerb” (The Law – for Your Business and Competitive Advantage), I offer bespoke legal advice and assistance focused on entrepreneurial strategies in competitive situations.
The legal framework of competition and market access derives from the interplay of different legal disciplines. My approach thus requires sound know-how in multiple fields of legal expertise and a mastery of the interfaces among them. In this respect I benefit from having acquired and successively practised, with alternating emphasis, yet consistently at a high level, in the different areas of law central to market access and competitive strategies. My focus has primarily been on antitrust law and EU State aid law. I have successfully litigated in the field of unfair competition law and trademark violation cases. Public commercial law, infrastructure regulation and in-house procurement has accompanied me for years. Also, I have regularly been consulted on the structuring of business relationships between companies, in particular on distribution agreements and co-operations, which often have an antitrust component. Last but not least, I have gained sound litigation experience in proceedings before the civil and administrative courts in Germany in these fields.
Businesses of all sizes and industries must assess legal challenges and opportunities with regard to their entrepreneurial strategy on the market. To date, I have advised international corporations, the public sector, financial institutions, private equity investors, the luxury goods industry, medium-sized mechanical engineering companies, IT service providers and start-ups.
Cooperation with other lawyers has been and continues to be essential for my own professional and entrepreneurial strategy. Many of the projects I handle require cooperation with lawyers from other disciplines or from other jurisdictions. Most of the time I cooperate with advisers who I know and value from previous law firms – and when I cannot offer legal advice myself, I can frequently recommend, for a wide variety of business law issues, a suitable colleague in Germany or abroad.
