About Me

As a Partner in our Commercial and Automotive teams in Munich, I advise domestic and international companies on commercial law matters as well as on product liability and product safety law.

My practice includes representing clients in upstream and downstream supply chain matters, including warranty, termination, delivery stop, supply, price increase and cost recovery issues and disputes. I have a particular focus on disputes in relation to global recall and field actions, and the recourse along the supply chain. I am also specialised in negotiating, reviewing and drafting complex commercial agreements, such as purchase and warranty agreements and general terms and conditions.

I primarily work for companies in the automotive industry and regularly hold seminars on current legal topics for automotive suppliers.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I worked in product liability litigation and product safety regulation as an associate at an international law firm in Frankfurt.
