Bio

His intimate familiarity with the laws and business cultures on both sides of the Atlantic has earned him the role of trusted adviser to both overseas and U.S. clients seeking to realize their aspirations and achieve success in their investments and operations in places beyond their own backyard. A successful international multi-lingual attorney, Hans describes himself mainly as an “interpreter of cultures.” He guides overseas clients of all sizes — and in virtually any kind of business — through a U.S. legal landscape and business environment that many find challenging and confusing. And he serves his U.S. clients equally effectively as they prepare to enter the European markets. These clients value Hans’ innate sense of what matters, or what could pose a challenge, to the business owner who wishes to find success in a new and unfamiliar market. Hans’ pedigree includes legal studies at top-ranked universities, and law practice at premier law firms, in both Europe and the United States. This allows him to bring to all matters a deep and broad understanding of both civil and common law legal systems. EDUCATION: New York University, M.C.J.; University of Zurich Law School, J.D., with honors;
