For English speaking clients
Notaries are state-appointed legal practitioners acting in the public interest. Other than lawyers, notaries are independent, impartial and objective advisors to all parties involved in a transaction.
Notaries carefully determine the will of the parties, draft contracts and provide deeds necessary to carry out the transaction.
Notaries play a key role in real estate law, commercial and company law as well as inheritance and family law. In particular, legal transactions with lasting effect, economic and/or personal importance for the parties involved, require the involvement of a notary – e.g. the sale and transfer of real estate property, the creation of a land charge, the establishment and registration of a Private Limited Company (GmbH).
The same holds true for certain corporate transactions, such as share or asset deals, capital increases, corporate mergers as well as matrimonial property and inheritance agreements. Moreover, notaries certify signatures as well as documents and establish authentic instruments.
I was appointed as a notary in the city Düren in February 2024.
I graduated from Heidelberg University and University of Chicago Law School and worked lawyer in a Germany based international law firm for several years.
Besides, I teach EU Law (in particular EU corporate and EU competition law) as well as international Private Law as a visiting lecturer at Yeditepe University, Istanbul.
