How We Live Our Values: Collaboration
Working with clients from different industries and scientific fields means I learn something new every day. That constant exchange keeps the work dynamic and helps build strong relationships. By understanding each client’s business and objectives, I can tailor legal advice to support their success.
In My Own Words
What I find most rewarding in my job is diving into the legal complexities of each case. Trade mark law is fascinating because it brings together legal principles, consumer perception and language. I enjoy uncovering nuances in argumentation and using them to advocate for clients’ rights. Achieving the best possible result is always at the heart of my practice.
