About Christian

Senior Interim Legal Counsel | Lawyer | 17+ Years of Experience

I support companies and legal departments as an experienced Interim General Counsel – with legal precision and an eye for what is economically feasible.

After over 17 years in my own law firm, as well as positions in public administration and the international large law firm environment **(Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, Madrid)**, I know both worlds: in-depth analysis and pragmatic implementation in operational business.

My focus areas:

*Real Estate:Support in commercial lease law and real estate law.

*Legal Operations:Structuring and digitalization of legal departments.

*Corporate & Employment:Strategic advice in corporate and employment law.

*Conflict Management:As a certified mediator (NVC), I resolve complex negotiation situations where others get stuck.

Additionally, I offer highly efficient support in reviewing standard contracts and managing backlogs:

*Employment Law:Legally sound review of dismissals and severance agreements.

*Real Estate:Check of purchase agreements and commercial lease agreements.

*Quality Assurance:Short-term check of complex contractual frameworks for pitfalls.


Why me?

I am a bridge-builder at the interface of law, politics, and business. Through mystints in the political arena, including the German Bundestag and the Berlin Senate Chancellery,I am very familiar with complex decision-making and committee structures.

I am fluent inGerman and English(Spanish skills available) and bring the necessary calm to deliver immediate results even in volatile phases (restructuring, bridging vacancies). I operate fully digitally and quickly integrate into new teams – whether on-site or100% remote.

I look forward to collaborating on demanding projects.

    January 2008 - Today (18 years and 7 months)
    Berlin, Germany
    In over 17 years as a self-employed lawyer, I have comprehensively advised medium-sized companies and private individuals in business, real estate, and employment law. My focus was on structuring complex contracts in commercial lease law and providing strategic advice to managing directors. A particular focus of my work was out-of-court conflict resolution through mediation and empathetic negotiation. This allowed me to achieve sustainable economic solutions, avoiding lengthy and costly lawsuits. My approach is to protect the interests of all parties involved, even in complex situations, and to find pragmatic agreements.
