Poland & Ukraine.

Formerly admitted in Poland. Rooted in the region.
I am admitted as an attorney in Germany and was previously admitted in Poland, where I worked for years in academia and practice in Kraków. For clients with ties to Poland, Ukraine and Central and Eastern Europe, I combine German capital markets, insolvency and corporate law with in-depth knowledge of the region's legal systems.
