This long-time wealth of experience as in-house lawyer in an international environment sets her apart from other external consultants in her field. In her several in-house functions in the respective company headquarters she supported the business expansion in Asia, was responsible for the claim and contract management and deeply involved in structural and development projects on global level. Kerstin still acts for clients in these fields remotely by her law firm. Kerstin owns the expert knowledge of the automotive specifics, knows how to deal with customer-specific requirements, contracts, liability issues in the supply-chain and understands the situation of sub-suppliers as well as of an OEM. Her range of services covers the wide variety of topics in the day-to-day operational and project-related businesses and risk-management for sales, marketing, procurement, quality and production – far beyond the legal perspective. Kerstin also is familiar with all phases of the product life cycle and the various perspectives, whether from a developer's perspective or in the spare parts supply. Regularly, she conducts legal training courses as a lecturer on behalf of reputed education providers as well in-house engaged by companies and customized to their specific needs, mainly in contact and liability law and for the executive management to avoid organizational negligence. Having been part herself of the entrepreneurial organization in the most diverse constellations and the profound insights of the corporate processes, enables her to address her clients hands on at eye level with the reasonable sense of proportion in actions and recommendations.
