Legal Services and Consulting

As a lawyer, I am a specialist in consent legislation and an experienced educator in the themes of sexual rights, sexual harassment and abuse, and equality and equity.

I offer consultation services on issues related to sexuality, equality, or the realization of the rights of sexual and gender minorities, or for example in the preparation of citizens' initiatives and complaints. I also prepare other legal documents for my clients, such as wills and prenuptial contracts.

Please book a free consultation and let's see how I can help you.

Below are examples of the training packages I offer and the contents of the consultation. If necessary, I will be happy to tailor a legal training package or consultation package to the current themes in your organization.
