About me
As a legal assistant with the firm’s Competition & Regulatory practice, I assist lawyers in a broad spectrum of areas, including competition law, distribution and trade, information technology and data protection.
According to Art. 40 (3) of the Bar Association Act, legal assistants do not provide legal services. Legal assistants are assisting the attorneys.
