Not another stepping stone. A professional home.

I’m looking for a varied, long-term position as a fully qualified lawyer. I want to settle into an employer for the long run, take on responsibility, and grow alongisde the company.

My focus lies in emplyment and social security law. Still, I deliberately don’t want to commit to a single legal field – I’m broadly curious and can get excited about almost any legal question, as long as it’s demanding and relevant. Criminal law is the one exception.

What I bring

I don’t think of my background as five separate careers. It’s one set of connected skills.

I like questions where people initially think: hasn’t everything already been said about this? Because that’s usually where the interesting work begins.

An unconventional path – on purpose

My career hasn’t followed a straight line. And that’s exactly what makes it interesting. I started in social security and pension law, completed my university entrance qualification through a non-traditional educational pathway, qualified as a lawyer, specialised in employment law, worked in an internaitonal corporate environment, and moved to Cairo. There, I helped prepare skilled professionals für the cross-norder move to work in Germany – legally, organisationally and culturally.

Along the way I discovered that my biggest strength isn’t one specific subject – it’s the ability to step into unfamiliar territory, understnad complex systems, and connect knowledge across fields.

How I work

A clear framework I can move freely within. Flexibility around where and when I work isn’t a nice extra – it’s part of the setup in which I do my best work. As a neurodivergent person, I’m most productive with structure to orient myself, freedom to think, and trust to take on responsibility.

I find inefficiency hard to tolerate. In how people talk, and in how they act. If I have nothing to say, I stay quiet. Where tasks can sensibly be combined, I combine them. I’ve contributed to – and directly initiated – several process improvements for exactly this reason.

Responsibility comes naturally to me. I already have some operational leadership experience – from onboarding new colleagues to improving team processes. To me, leadership is less about hierarchy and more about giving direction and helping others do their work well.

What I’m looking for

• A place where curiosity is an asset.
• A place where I can grow – not just professional, but into new areas of responsibility.
• An employer who values versatility, not a job title that defines me.
• A flexible way of working: hybrid or remote, ownership, trust.
• An international scope that doesn’t stop at Europe’s borders – I’m particularly drawn to the connection with the MENA region.
• A relationship that works both ways: I want to contribute, I want to learn – and I want it to be mutually beneficial.

---

Where I could fit

I’m open to different roles where legal experties, international experience and curiosity create value.

What you get

• Someone who doesn’t need to know everything on day one – but knows how to find out.
• Someone who enjoys complex questions.
• Someone who moves easily between legal detail and the bigger picture.
• Someone who brings an international perspective
• Someone genuinely interested in learning.

Maybe there isn’t a job posting that quiet matches my profile yet. Maybe you’re not even looking for a lawyer right now – But there’s a project, an interface, or a question that nobody has found quite the right description for yet.
