Industrial Law

Industrial law forms the part of commercial law that is directed toward manufacturing companies and their products and services. It is an interdisciplinary domain in which technical, economic, and legal matters are closely interconnected. Thinking outside the box and working collaboratively across functions are essential here.

What sets this practice-driven field apart is that industrial-technical matters must be captured and understood in depth before they can be properly evaluated in legal terms. I work independently in direct collaboration with my clients’ experts or as part of interdisciplinary teams with product developers, sales and procurement specialists, technologists and project engineers. I review, structure and prepare product data sheets, development milestones, specifications, requirements documents, and parameters for performance and acceptance testing to ensure that these materials can be integrated into legally sound contracts and provide the clarity required to enforce claims or to defend against unfounded demands.
