Experience that delivers.
Expertise that decides.

As former Senior Legal Counsel at BMW and Group General Counsel at Süd-Chemie and OSRAM, I bring DAX-level standards to your organisation — without full-time overhead.

⚖️

Interim General Counsel

I step into Legal Leadership immediately and seamlessly — when your GC is absent, your legal department needs to be built, or a crisis requires senior legal direction.

🤝

M&A Advisory

50+ transactions on buy and sell side, carve-outs, joint ventures — I guide your deals from due diligence to closing with full transactional depth.

🛡️

Compliance & CCO

Compliance frameworks, risk management, audit-readiness — I establish structures that hold, and take on the interim CCO role as needed.

🚀

Legal Transformation

Building and professionalising legal departments, AI-powered workflows, global law firm networks — I make your legal function fit for the future.

💡

IP Management

I am a strategic partner for your IP portfolio — from patent strategy and licensing through to international enforcement.

🏛️

Litigation Management

Strategic management of complex disputes — e.g. patent litigation, liability claims, US class actions — steering strategy rather than just reacting.
