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

The prospect of an insanely versatile profession and a passion for language and writing sparked the idea in me to study law. The fact that I like to discuss things was of course also a good fit with the career aspiration of becoming a lawyer.

My passion for labour and employment law then grew during my studies. Social, political and economic dimensions make labour law so diverse and compelling that soon it was clear for me: that’s where I want to go professionally!

And let’s be honest… how boring would life be as an administrative lawyer?

What characterizes my council?

Already during my studies, I decided to focus on labour law and have been working in labour law oriented law firms since the first semesters. I have thus learned from scratch to apply the knowledge gained during my studies in practice and to think and work “in real life”.

• I studied law at Saarland University and chose to focus on German and European labour law. Parallel to my studies, I worked as a student assistant in a law firm in Saarland, where I was primarily involved with labour law matters.
• I completed my studies with honors in both the focus area examination and the first state examination.
• I completed my legal clerkship at the Saarland Higher Regional Court in Saarbrücken and was also able to pass my second state examination with honors.
• My journey at Studio Hinz began as a research associate during my legal clerkship. I wanted to learn from the best, but without the outdated law firm structures and rigid “that’s how it’s always been done” mentality. I sought space for new approaches, my own ideas, commitment, and creativity. All of this at the highest legal level, with the aim of ensuring the best possible advice for our clients at all times.
• In 2021, I was admitted to the bar by the Berlin Bar Association.
• In December 2023, I completed a postgraduate Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Human Resource Management at the University of Regensburg. This allowed me to deepen my knowledge in areas such as psychology, recruiting, change management, and restructuring.
• Since July 2024, I am a certified specialist lawyer for labour law.

Why did I study law and become a lawyer?

I have always been driven by the urge to understand the big picture and to look at our world from different perspectives. Studying law was the key that helped me to come to understand the complex world of law. After all, law shapes our everyday lives and social interaction. Lawyers are their clients’ guidance through the maze of laws in the pursuit of a certain goal. This requires them to deal with a wide variety of situations and problems. This requires a problem-oriented approach to a wide variety of situations. Working as a lawyer is therefore an extremely fulfilling profession for me. Ultimately, it is the combination of intellectual challenge and the opportunity to effect real change that makes this profession so special.

What is my consulting approach based on?

My advisory approach combines my understanding of the complexity of the law with a passion for overcoming clients’ individual challenges. Through precise legal advice, I help them achieve their goals and achieve optimal change.

• I studied at the University of Potsdam and the Humboldt University of Berlin. During my studies, I focused on intellectual property law, an area that is closely linked to contract drafting in employment law.
• I then worked for various departments in the Bundestag administration. In the art department, I initially dealt with public procurement law. However, I spent the majority of my time at the Bundestag working for the secretariat of the Defense Committee and the secretariat of the 1st Committee of Inquiry of the Defense Committee. I accompanied the Committee of Inquiry until the report was completed.
• I completed my legal training at the Berlin Court of Appeal. During this time, I became part of Studio Hinz as a research assistant. I met my ambitious, open-minded and not least very competent colleagues, with whom I can now work together as a lawyer.
• In 2024, I was admitted to the Berlin Bar Association as a lawyer.

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

Admittedly, my decision to study law was influenced by the fact that a law degree opens up many career options. Claus Kleber even became a famous news anchor in German TV afterward… I became a lawyer because, during my legal traineeship, I quickly realized that representing clients’ interests suited me, and I am impressed by the dynamic and strategic aspects of advising in businesses issues. And why labour and employment law? – I already knew that from the beginning!

What characterizes my council?

My passion for labour and employment law developed early in my studies, and it remains unchanged. Labour law issues are often complex and legally demanding, but always relevant to real life. In consulting, the goal is to apply legal expertise with sensitivity while finding practical solutions for clients – and to negotiate those solutions if necessary. I have trained this ability throughout my career so far, by always focusing on labour law and employment issues:

• I studied law at the University of Passau, where I specialized in labour law and wrote a seminar paper on employment data protection with excellent results.
• I completed my legal clerkship at the Brandenburg Higher Regional Court and in Berlin, focusing on labour and employment law in every practical station. This included working in the department of labour and collective bargaining law at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, at a law firm specializing in labour migration law, and in the Employment and Pensions department of an international law firm.
• Before and during my legal clerkship, I worked for more than two years as a research assistant at a leading labour law firm in Berlin, where I helped advise national and international companies on individual and collective labour law, as well as employment data protection issues. Internationally notable experts taught me the fundamentals of labour law consulting. Since then, I am dealing with current HR- and compliance issues facing companies and executives, and with how to find, negotiate, and implement feasible solutions.
• In 2024, I was admitted to the bar by the Berlin Bar Association and joined Studio Hinz. I look forward to the next steps on becoming a Certified Employment Law Specialist.
