If you start a law firm, your goal is to be the first address in your professional discipline.

With this claim I have been practicing successfully as an independent lawyer in employment law at the current office location since 1 January 2015. International references and continual growth confirm this. With the decision to expand the law firm into an employment law boutique together with Ingrid Korenjak since 1 January 2020, the passion for employment law has multiplied. Combined expertise for our clients.
