I am a Senior Legal Counsel in the M&A Legal Team at AURELIUS. Before joining AURELIUS in 2022, I spent five years as a lawyer at Freshfields in the M&A / Private Equity practice. I studied at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg and completed my legal traineeship at the Higher Regional Court (Kammergericht) in Berlin.

As part of the M&A Legal Team, I am jointly responsible with the Investment Team for company acquisitions and disposals at AURELIUS. I oversee the legal side of each transaction, from structuring and drafting the agreements through to closing. This means working closely with the Deal Team as well as specialists from Tax, Operations, and Financing. Every deal is a team effort and a true collaborative masterpiece.

What is the #1 reason why you joined AURELIUS?

Coming from private practice, I missed the commercial perspective. I wanted to be closer to the numbers, the investment case, and the real decision-making behind whether to pursue a deal. It is incredibly exciting to accompany transactions from an owner’s perspective rather than solely as an external adviser.

Describe your job

My work in the M&A Legal Team is highly varied and dynamic. Every transaction offers insights into new industries and business models. In 2025, I had the opportunity to play a key role in setting up our new fund. The bar is high and the learning curve remains steep and that is exactly what makes the role so rewarding.

Best thing about AURELIUS

The people and the mindset: nothing is impossible. Challenges are seen as opportunities rather than obstacles. I genuinely enjoy coming into the office every day. We achieve a lot and laugh a lot.

Personal statement

As a mother of two young children, AURELIUS places great trust in me and gives me the flexibility I need. This allows me to balance the at times intensive work on exciting transactions with spending meaningful, high‑quality time with my family.

AURELIUS means full responsibility from day one.
