Founder of the law firm
Dr. Anna Ricarda Gerlach
As a lawyer with more than 16 years of professional experience, I always prioritise the successful support and enforcement of my clients’ legal interests. In doing so, I attach great importance to a trusting relationship and a co-operation characterised by fairness and respect – for me the basis of our mutual success.
Due to my many years of expertise in international legal relations, my focus is not only on advising national clients but also on international matters. Legal matters involving Italy are a particular area in which I specialise.
Italy is of special significance to me, both professionally as well as personally. I have a fluent command of Italian, and having had the opportunity to spend extended periods of time to study and work in Italy, I am able to appreciate the particularities of Italian culture: I always feel at home in Italy.
