Rechtsanwältin Dr. Petra Timmermann
About me
As a lawyer, I have been advising companies and professionals on labor law and German immigration law for many years. After working for a major international law firm in Hamburg for nine years, I founded my own law firm in 2020. In parallel, I have been working as an in-house lawyer for a real estate bank in Hamburg since April 2020.
