My areas of practice are criminal law (in particular private accessory prosecution) and migration law.
Criminal law
- private accesory prosecution in case victim to a crime
- assistance of legal cousel for witnesses
- criminal defence (in certain cases: it is of personal concern to me to suppoert those affected by sexual violence, violence against lgbtqi*, racist and antisemitic violence. Therefore, I rule out any criminal defence on these allegations.
Migration law
- business migration (especially freelancer, artists and scientists)
- residency for study or educational purposes
- permanent residency and German citizenship
- freedom of movement for EU-citizens and their relatives
akm Rechtsanwält*innen
I share my office with akm Rechtsanwält*innen
As a team of eight attorneys and two legal assistants, we work in close collaboration to ensure that we can always best represent your interests. Our approach allows us to leverage our collective expertise where it is needed. If your case involves multiple areas of law, we provide comprehensive advice, for example at the intersection of immigration, labor, and/or social security law, or where there are overlaps with criminal law.
We also represent our clients out of a sense of political commitment, particularly in situations where they face an apparently overwhelming opponent. Through our work, we stand up for people who must defend themselves against structural power dynamics and forms of discrimination such as racism and sexism in a capitalist society.

About me
I was born in 1986 in Germany. My pronouns are she/ her.
I studied German and European law in Würzburg, Sevilla (Spain) and in Berlin. Therefore I was granted the title of European jurist (Univ.-Würzburg).
I am entitled to hold the doctoral title (dr. iur.). My doctoral thesis on public international law was supervised by Prof. a.D. Dr. Dr. h.c. Dr. h.c. Philip Kunig and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Seher at the Free University of Berlin and was funded by the Hansen Foundation.
During my legal clerkship, I worked at the Foreign Office of Germany, at the Central Office of the Land Judicial Authorities for the Investigation of National Socialist crimes in Ludwigsburg and in a feminist legal office focusing on criminal and family law (in particular representing victims of domestic and sexual violence).
Prior to my current profession, I was employed, inter alia, at the German Federal Ministry of Justice and at the Free University of Berlin in the areas of constitutional law, European law and public international law.
I am a member of the Republikanischer Anwältinnen- und Anwaltsverein e.V. (RAV) and Nebenklage e. V.
