Description

Ich unterstütze Legal Teams kurzfristig bei Kapazitätsengpässen und komplexen Projekten – operativ, pragmatisch und sofort einsatzbereit. Gleichzeitig sorge ich dafür, dass Legal nachhaltig effizienter arbeitet.

Mit 15+ Jahren Erfahrung in internationalen Kanzleien und börsennotierten Pharma- und MedTech-Unternehmen - auch auf EMEA-Führungsebene - kenne ich den Alltag in Legal sehr genau: hoher Kostendruck, ein dynamisches Umfeld und operative Dauerkommunikation lassen wenig Raum für strategisches Arbeiten. Die Folge: Legal agiert oft reaktiv statt als proaktiver Business Partner. Genau hier setze ich an.

Typische Einsatzfelder

Commercial Contracts & Verhandlungen (inkl. Distributoren, Großhandel, Krankenkassen und internationale Partner)
Regulatory & Compliance (Pharma / MedTech) inkl. Pricing & Reimbursement
Wettbewerbsrecht & Heilmittelwerberecht
Datenschutz / Privacy (GDPR)
Litigation & External Counsel Management (cross-border)
Interim Legal Support (Überbrückung von Kapazitätsengpässen und Projektspitzen)

Effizienz und nachhaltige Entlastung für Legal

Ich entlaste nicht nur operativ, sondern optimiere gezielt die Arbeitsweise von Legal Teams:

Strukturierung von Legal Demand & Entscheidungsprozessen
Aufbau von Governance-Strukturen und Risikorahmen
Entwicklung von Playbooks und Triage-Modellen
Reduktion von Backlogs und unnötiger Legal-Last

Als ausgebildete Mediatorin bringe ich zusätzlich die Fähigkeit mit, in crossfunktionalen Teams unterschiedliche Interessen effizient zu moderieren und tragfähige Lösungen zu entwickeln.
