The first thing I learned as a lawyer is…
clients want answers or understand their options. Clients are not interested in endless legal discussions.
A building which I find impressive is…
the so-called ‚Affenfelsen‘ (monkeys‘ rock) that the REIUS office is in. In all directions it provides a stunning view over Hamburg. Interesting piece of history: 1983 the Stern magazine presented the legendary (fake) Hitler Diaries in this very building.
A music album that I recommend to everyone is…
‚Midnight Marauders‘ by A Tribe Called Quest. Soul, funk and jazz-inspired hip-hop combined with smart, positive lyrics.
