I am French, and I attended a German-French secondary school in France. I completed part of my studies in Germany and have been living in Cologne for several years now, together with my German husband and my German-French children. What I find particularly important is providing practical support to companies on issues of employment law – including in dealing with employee representatives and in restructuring.
