Innova­tive
approa­ches to
employ­ment law.

Why did I study law and why did I become a lawyer?

Who knows? Nobody had expected that. Least of all me. But, a crazy idea turned into a really, really big passion.

What are my professional qualities?

What characterizes my council?

My perspective always encompasses more than just the legal aspects: I know the workings of my clients’ companies, their service/product, I am familiar with current HR trends and always incorporate strategic and corporate cultural considerations into my advice. In essence: I do more than just discuss the relevant laws – I do it with a view to the latest HR trends with HR staff at eye level.

I deliver tailor-made employment law solutions. Solutions that can sometimes be unconventional, but always pragmatic. My recommendation will be delivered in the preferred manner: crystal clear and blunt to be readily understood and flourished without all the legal mumbo-jumbo to impress. When I advise or argue for clients in court, one thing is clear: it is about winning, about getting the best out of it for the client. But not only the short-term legal goals, but also the medium- and long-term corporate strategic goals and the corporate culture of the client will be taken into account. Only then can council be effective and sustainable.

What is my consulting approach based on?

Everything that has to do with strategic and corporate cultural challenges has always appealed to me. Add a lot of professional experience and managing the “HR Leaders Berlin” network and you get someone who is always at the cutting edge of HR.

And of course, labour and employment law and human resources are my passion. This has always been the case and is reflected in my professional career:

• I studied law in my home town at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg. Already during my studies, I specialized in labour and employment law and from the 2nd year onwards I worked as a research assistant in labour law at one of the leading law firms in the field of labour and employment law, Hümmerich (today “Hümmerich.legal”) for more than three years.
• In my first state examination, I was the best exam candidate in labour and employment law at state level and achieved the highest grade of 18 points, which had never ever been awarded before.
• I completed my mandatory legal clerkship at the Berlin Court of Appeal. In the second state examination, I was also one of the top exam candidates in the state in labour and employment law. During my legal clerkship, I worked in the field of employment law at the major international lawfirms LOVELLS (today “Hogan Lovells”) and Linklaters.
• In 2007, I was admitted to the bar in Germany and then worked for the market-leading employment law boutique KLIEMT for almost seven years.
• In 2014, at the age of only 36, I became a partner in the international lawfirm BEITEN BURKHARDT.
• At the beginning of 2018 I joined the employment lawfirm vangard as a partner.

And now I own my own: Studio Hinz. Finally!
