Next to celebrating Florian‘s 5th Of Counsel and other important anniversaries on that day, we bid a warm welcome to Anna Akosua Hankings-Evans who will be with us in a trainee advocate position until the end of the year.
Anna studied law in Freiburg, Instanbul and Berlin with a specialization in International Law and Private International Law and eventually followed an invitation to Stellenbosch University as a visiting scholar in 2016. Prior to joining the firm, Anna interned with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy as part of her Referendariat.
