About me.

“In my free time, I find balance in sport, particularly on the football pitch and in ice hockey. Competitive sport fascinates me because, much like litigation, it requires strategy, endurance and, not least, the will to win. I am driven by the goal of achieving the best possible outcome for my clients with a clear mind and dedicated commitment. At the same time, I place great importance on respectful conduct, as well as the willingness to explore new approaches where the situation calls for it.”
