WZM continues growing in the area of young lawyers

Since this March we welcome Sven Krüger as another member to our team of lawyers. After successfully completing his legal clerkship in Rostock in the north of Germany, he has now started his professional life as a lawyer at WZM.

"I am very much looking forward to becoming part of the WZM team. I have already gained experience in law firms of various sizes, but also outside the traditional legal tracks. My aim is to work with full commitment to achieve best results for you as our clients, while -in addition to the quality of legal expertise- considering the other, non-legal aspects and challenges of your case.“

Our new lawyer Emine Kruse introduces herself

Since this month I am a part of the team of WZM. I would like to make my contribution here to providing goal-oriented and assertive legal advice. In providing legal advice, it is crucial for me to deliver tailor-made solutions for our clients and likewise to choose the right instruments to enforce our claims. If mediation does not lead to success, I feel very much at home in civil procedure law.

As a native Turkish speaker, I would also like to enrich the WZM team linguistically. I look forward to working with you.

Bu aydan beri WZM hukuk ailesinin bir parçası olmaktan mutluyum. Burada hedef odaklı ve iddialı hukuk danışmanı olarak katkıda bulunacağım. Avukatlık danışmanlığında benim için en önemli faktör müvekkillerimize özel cözümler bulabilmek ve bu anlamda doğru enstrümanları seçebilmektir. Arabuluculuk çabalarımız bir çözüm getirmediği takdirde, medeni usul hukuğu ışığında destek olacağım.

Türk bir hukukcu olarak WZM ailesini dilsel olarakta zenginleştirmekten mutluyum.
