01The firm
A divorce is not a formality. It decides your assets, your family and your future – and deserves representation that thinks strategically and negotiates with confidence.
Since 2009, I have advised and represented clients in all matters of family law. My Munich law firm stands for expertise, assertiveness and a high degree of empathy – especially when the emotional situation is difficult.
I see my work not only as legal representation but also as support during a phase of life that calls for clarity and direction. Clear communication, negotiating skill and the protection of your personal interests come first.
02Guide
Where are you right now?
Every stage of life raises different questions. Choose your situation – and see what matters now.
Before you make any decisions
A separation needs careful preparation. If you know early on which rights, obligations and costs lie ahead, you can decide with confidence – and avoid mistakes that are difficult to put right later.
- Secure documents on income, assets and pension provision
- Record the date you separated – it starts the separation year (Trennungsjahr)
- Do not sign any agreement before it has been checked by a lawyer
General guidance only – no substitute for advice on your individual case.
03Practice areas
Advice and representation across all of family law.
Your situation deserves a tailored solution. Every strategy begins with a careful analysis of your personal and financial circumstances – including cross-border situations.
- 01
Divorce
I guide you through every legal step of a separation – from filing the petition to the final settlement of all consequences of divorce. The aim is a fair and lasting solution. - 02
International Divorce
If one or both spouses hold a foreign nationality or live abroad, special rules apply – on which court has jurisdiction, which law applies and how a divorce is recognised. - 03
Property & Assets
I make sure assets and income are divided fairly. Precise analysis and a strategic approach protect your financial balance. - 04
Prenuptial Agreement
A timely agreement creates clarity and certainty. I advise you on drafting individual arrangements – before or during the marriage. - 05
Custody & Contact
Your children's welfare comes first. I help you reach arrangements that support their relationships and stability. - 06
Maintenance
Whether you are claiming or paying – I calculate, review and represent your interests in maintenance matters with care and determination. - 07

04Focus
Family law for substantial assets.
Anyone who has built up assets over many years faces far-reaching questions when a relationship ends. It is about the substance of your life's work – about security for the future, discretion and clarity in an emotionally demanding situation.
- I
Protecting complex assets
Real estate, securities portfolios, shareholdings and private pension provision are valued carefully – legitimate claims are contained and unjustified demands are rejected.
- II
Negotiating as equals
Determination combined with expertise: confident, tactically clear and with an eye for what makes economic sense.
- III
Discretion
Strict confidentiality and strategies with minimal disclosure – without high-profile disputes.
- IV
Long-term security
Arrangements that last for years – for the development of your assets, your children and your personal freedom.
