What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote, hybrid or in-country opportunities in Austria across legal, human resources and advisory functions, where I can apply employment-law, investigations, compliance and client-advisory experience.

I advise corporate and institutional clients on labour, employment and workplace safety matters at K&L Gates, including practical, risk-aware compliance advice.

I lead workplace investigations involving whistleblowing, bullying, harassment, discrimination and financial misconduct, preparing clear investigation reports.

I draft employment contracts, workplace policies, court materials and client correspondence, and represent client interests in hearings, mediations and conciliations. I also support employment and workplace safety due diligence for corporate transactions.

Earlier, I managed quality and compliance documentation at 3Bridges Community Ltd and supported counsel through legal research at Sir Owen Dixon Chambers. I'm relocating to Innsbruck and bring cross-cultural adaptability from international living, travel and cross-jurisdictional work.
