years of experience
Schollmeyer & Steidl Legal has several experienced consultants: the two namesakes and founders of the firm, Daniel Schollmeyer and Ina Steidl as well as Dr. Barbara von Rohr, Dr. Eva-Maria Emsinghoff, Dr. Julia B. List, Debora Satta, Saskia Kirschbaum, Maximilian Seibel, Zlatan Kekic, Katharina Landgraf, Matthias Pohlers, Katharina Hochberg and Jana Sáez García.
As consultants we offer years of experience in a very specialized market.
As trained attorneys and business coaches, we can look back upon years of relevant professional experience at well-known law firms and corporates in Frankfurt, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Munich in various fields of Business and law.
In recent years, the founders and several of our consultants have worked with extraordinary success in the legal market.
Instead of lending our considerable experience in law firm mergers, the recruitment of partners, associates, inhouse counsel and management support staff to a major international company, we put our entire expertise to work very focused for you in the legal market only at the highest levels and with extraordinary effectiveness, for clients as well as candidates.
We are the consultancy firm which we as lawyers always wished we had and which we as consultants have never been able to find.
