With Dr. Susanne Sonnenhauser and Dr. Christian Gärtner, two very experienced colleagues from the Prüfer und Partner team are joining the management.

Jürgen Feldmeier, managing partner:
“With Dr. Susanne Sonnenhauser, whom we have known for 16 years as an extremely competent and determined patent attorney and proven life science expert, and with Dr. Christian Gärtner, who started and successfully completed his training as a patent attorney in our firm 10 years ago and is now extremely experienced in bilateral proceedings, we have gained two partners who carry the Prüfer DNA. Today and in the future, they will work conscientiously and ambitiously to meet the needs of our clients.”

We look forward to a successful and inspiring future.
