Bio

I am a partner in the Dusseldorf office of Fieldfisher. Following my admission to the bar in 1997 I worked as a competition lawyer in Brussels, Dusseldorf and Hamburg. I advise my clients on all aspects of EU and German competition law, including cartel investigations of the German Bundeskartellamt and the European Commission, leniency applications, abuse of dominance cases, private cartel damage claims, vertical and horizontal co-operations (including distribution, licensing and R&D agreements), as well as on German, EC and multijurisdictional merger control. Further to this I advise on the design and implementation of compliance programmes and represent clients before German and European courts. I am a regular speaker at seminars and conferences and have published numerous articles on German and European competition law. I am co-author of a leading German commentary on German and European competition law (Langen/Bunte). I am recognized by JUVE, Chambers Europe, Chambers Global, Who’s who Legal Germany, GCR International Who is Who of Competition Lawyers as well as “Best Lawyers/Handelsblatt”. I am a member of the German Association of Competition Law and of the Steering Committee of the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Law. I advise my clients in German and English.
