Nadja Lorenz
Lawyer
The work as a lawyer for people who seek justice (usually against powerful opponents) has been my passion from the start.
For more than 30 years, I’m trying to make the world a fairer place for my clients within the existing legal framework. This is only possible with my excellent legal expertise, dedication and together with my excellent team.
Our Law Firm has always been committed to ensuring that people who need international protection receive it.
Empathy and a strong humanitarian commitment as well as the determination to ensure that people are granted the rights they are entitled to are the prerequisites for our success.
“No one is illegal” is our motto.
