Companies need talent from abroad in order to remain competitive in the future. I design the structures for this. So that working abroad is legally secure and feasible. Technically, working abroad is not a problem in many sectors. But legally, it remains a major challenge. That's why structures are needed that take the requirements of companies and talents into account. If decentralized working and virtual teams are to become a resource for companies, they need a secure framework and someone who has a comprehensive view of the structures. So that talent acquisition abroad really works.
