Marius is an Attorney (Rechtsanwalt) focusing on German and European immigration and citizenship law. With extensive experience advising corporate clients across industries, Marius focuses on helping companies navigate complex immigration programs while ensuring compliance at every step.

He also plays a key role in aligning corporate clients' voices with government strategies, bridging the gap between business needs and immigration policy.
