My path to labor law

My first encounter with labor law was during my studies in 2010. At that time, I completed a part-time internship at the Hamburg Labor Court in the chambers of Judge Albers, which I voluntarily extended. I was overwhelmed by the dimensions of labor law and, at the same time, fascinated by how different regulatory levels interact. Added to that was the explosive nature of labor law proceedings – there's always a lot at stake: your job, security, and money, of course.

Early specialization in labor law

From then on, it was clear to me: labor law would be my field. Labor law is interesting, challenging, and dynamic. Furthermore, it fulfills an important function, namely establishing a fair balance between employees, employers, works councils, and unions. So, I prepared myself to make my contribution here.

Therefore, from then on, I consumed everything I could get my hands on about labor law. My curiosity knew no bounds. I had the Goal to become an expert in labor lawI aligned my traineeship with my passion for law. Further training at the Hamburg Labor Court, in a corporate group, and at a labor law firm gave me the final touches in labor law to successfully launch my career as a labor lawyer. After the "small thing" of successfully passing the state examination, of course.

Entry into employment law firm boutique

What happened next? Well, for me there was no question: a boutique law firm was the right place to get started quickly and intensively as a lawyer specializing in employment law. I wanted to gain valuable experience as quickly as possible and apply my knowledge of employment law. Three negotiations in one day, numerous consultations, and written submissions were not uncommon. Always in the front row, always under pressure and in the legal fray – that was my daily routine. This allowed me to quickly and Build sound quality and experience in employment law, from which my clients now benefit greatly. It was an instructive time, and sometimes I had to learn things the hard way.

Total labor law

Further professional positions followed as an in-house lawyer at a works council consulting firm and a law firm focused on employers. During this time, I played a key role in supporting major restructuring projects for well-known global corporations. This allowed me to significantly expand my knowledge of employment law. And: I now know all sides and their motivesI took this path to develop myself further and gain new perspectives. Being an expert in labor law means not only knowing labor law, but also knowing your own clients and, above all, your opponents.

Specialist lawyer for labor law and new focus

In the meantime, I earned the title of "Specialist Lawyer for Employment Law." Along the way, employee data protection became another focus of my legal work. I have also been working nationwide for some time as a consultant on employment, works constitution, and data protection law.

If you have read my career so far carefully, you will surely already have an idea of what Smart Employment Law stands for. The firm stands first and foremost for sound and in-depth expertise in labor lawso that you are always one step ahead in work law and achieve your goals.

It is not without reason that I have focused my entire legal career on employment law. Nor have I gained such diverse experience aimlessly. All of this was done out of the firm's conviction that these steps are necessary to become a good employment lawyer; to offer you exactly what you need and what you ultimately pay for. Employment law is multifaceted and demanding. I consider it dangerous to treat this area of law only "in passing." My clients deserve more. Therefore, one of the firm's hallmarks is Consistent specialization in labor law – without ifs and butsI decline cases from other legal areas or refer them to other specialized colleagues.

This also fits in with my daily training and regular discussions with excellent employment lawyers and labor judges on employment law topics. Only through continuous training can I ensure that new laws and developments in case law are taken into account in your case. I always allocate at least an hour per day for this.
