Head of Legal | Eurest Restaurationsbetriebsgesellschaft

What are the most significant cases, projects, or transactions that you have recently been involved in?

Over the past year, my work has been strongly focused on supporting business growth through complex contract negotiations and close, hands-on support of the sales organisation. Acting as a sole in-house legal function, I am deeply involved in large-scale tenders and competitive procurement procedures, where legal strategy, risk allocation, and commercial objectives must be carefully aligned.

A key success in this context was my legal contribution to winning the vienna airport employee catering tender. This involved comprehensive support throughout the entire bidding process — from structuring and negotiating contractual terms to addressing regulatory, compliance, and liability aspects.

How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

In periods of instability or crisis, my approach is centred on clarity, prioritisation and close integration with the business. From a legal perspective, this means rapidly identifying the issues that are truly critical to business continuity and resilience and distinguishing them from those that can be managed over time.
