Professional highlights

Proactive approach. Once entrusted with a matter, I take full care of the matter, ensuring clients receive clear answers, defined next steps and ongoing support. I prioritise clear, concise communication – both written and spoken – so that complex legal issues are easy to understand.

Research. I carry out precise, well-structured legal research that underpins strong arguments and up-to-date insights. My approach combines accuracy, speed and analytical depth to ensure conclusions are reliable and actionable.

Commitment to quality and details. I work with a sharp eye for detail, making sure every task – from drafting to research – is completed with clarity and precision. I enjoy identifying patterns and spotting issues before they become problems, always aligning my work with the client’s broader objectives.

Self-development and determination. I actively pursue professional and personal development, viewing every experience as an opportunity to expand my skills. Internships across multiple law firms – and my start at Sorainen as an intern – have shaped my adaptability, work ethic and sense of responsibility. No matter how complex the task, I remain committed to delivering high-quality work with discipline and resilience.

Foreign direct investments and private client matters. Alongside corporate and M&A work, I focus on foreign direct investment matters and assist clients with private matters such as divorce, inheritance, and related family or succession matters. This enables me to support both business needs and personal legal transitions with sensitivity and professionalism.

Innovation and creativity. I enjoy thinking beyond conventional frameworks to improve processes, strengthen collaboration and develop efficient, client-friendly solutions. Whether using new technologies or proposing fresh methods of working, I aim to add value beyond standard legal services.
