Clarity over convention.
Structure over spectacle.
Progress over stagnation.

SOFT LAUNCH - Start in September 2025

As an experienced lawyer with many years of in-house work in start-ups and scale-ups, as well as around 14 years in international law firms in Basel, Zurich and Munich, I offer support from an entrepreneurial perspective.

I support clients in strategic negotiations, transactions and complex contract projects – drawing on the experience of a law firm partner and the perspective of a general counsel. I speak the language of management, legal, IT and sales. Where needed, I bring in experienced specialists to complement my team. I offer innovative fee models that reflect the value I add and are easy to budget.

Preparation of companies for financing rounds and exits, lead in the implementation of complex processes with a legal background, also as external "General Counsel light"

  • Internal due diligence, gap analysis and risk management, preparation and implementation of project plans in coordination with management, investors and supervisory bodies

  • Coordination of the strategy, objectives and implementation of the specific project (financing round, exit, merger, integration, other)

  • Legal project management and coordination with management and specialist departments

  • Managing complex projects (e.g. DORA, ISO 27001), needs analyses and contract negotiations, hand in hand with the finance, sales or other internal team (e.g. SAP, Salesforce)

Post-Closing & Integration

  • Design and planning of integration measures, for example following a merger, acquisition or spin-off; implementation in close cooperation with specialist departments; reporting with progress-based KPIs.

  • Focus: Bring implementation into the company and anchor it culturally .

Digitization & Sample Libraries

Development of digital contract libraries (HR, Sales, Finance, Data Protection, Governance, Compliance) in three stages:

  • light (legally reviewed templates with individual explanations and advice)

  • professional (legally reviewed templates with short checklists, with individual explanations and advice)

  • customized (legally reviewed templates with detailed playbook, with individual explanations and advice)

Upon request, I offer a generally understandable visual presentation and interdisciplinary structuring of complex legal projects such as mergers , integrations , spin-offs , restructurings , or structural adjustments to meet the requirements of a financing round. I work with a variety of operational tools such as RACI matrices, Excel spreadsheets, ticket systems such as Jira, Confluence, and various DMSs, both on Mac and PC.

Data protection, compliance and AI

I offer practical GDPR advice that focuses on what is really necessary and what can be dispensed with.

I am also happy to help with the development of lean, company-oriented compliance systems, including training and risk analysis, and with the development of appropriate internal guidelines for the responsible and sensible use of artificial intelligence in the company.

I have specialist knowledge in the following topics:

  • Compliance for insurance intermediary models

Impulse page on the topic of "AI and Ethics"

Artificial intelligence is not a tool, but a mirror – and challenges us to rethink responsibility.

 

What we see in it – or refuse to recognize – will shape our society.

AI is not a topic for specialists alone. It affects us all: politically, culturally, legally, and philosophically. Therefore, a broad, interdisciplinary discourse is needed – beyond buzzwords and apocalypticism.

 

Technology doesn't define what's possible and desirable—we do that . Or we don't. Then others do it—in our name.

 

This site collects perspectives that help us see things more clearly: wise voices, uncomfortable questions, new ways of thinking.

Impulse page on the topic "Europe - where are you?!"

Europe needs more than rules – it needs direction, courage and the ability to understand itself again.

 

Between geopolitical devaluation and internal disorientation, the European idea is in danger of disappearing – not through a big bang, but through indifference.

 

Much is at stake: our political self-determination, our cultural substance, our model of freedom. Europe must not remain a technocratic project. It must be retold – with curiosity, with intellectual acuity, and with the courage to embrace dissent.

 

This website seeks voices that want to not merely administer Europe, but rethink it. It seeks inspiration for a future that is not based on a copy of the past—but on a genuine understanding of what Europe could be.

If you or your company identify with any of these topics, I look forward to speaking with you.
