Law is my biggest hobby and I can't imagine doing anything else. What I enjoy most about it is that every day is different and brings new challenges. I specialise mainly in pharmaceutical and health law, which I interweave with the agenda of contract law, intellectual property law, unfair competition, advertising, and public regulation. In my free time I like to get to know other cultures through the study of foreign languages. I always learn at least the basic phrases before I go abroad on my vacation. If I had to move somewhere, it would be Switzerland.

Law can be a good servant, but in its ignorance, it can also be a bad master. What pleases me most about it is when I can conjure up from a jumble of paragraphs a seemingly simple piece of advice that will be a good and sensible servant. I mostly specialise in health and pharmaceutical law in conjunction with personal data protection. I also like media and advertising regulation, and everything related to food (from paragraphs to culinary travel experiences).

I knew that law would become my passion on my first day at law school. I was sold especially with the medical law classes and pharmaceutical law in practice. What I enjoy most about these two fields is their connection to the protection of human health, the inevitable clash of patients' and doctors' rights with the progress of the pharmaceutical industry, and the wide range of legal areas I encounter. My other lifelong passion is sport - I like to recharge my batteries on the bike path, on the snowy slopes and in the gym.

In my work and personal life, I like to choose a path that is a little more difficult but more fun. In the office, I am most passionate about pharmaceutical and health law, on which I focus along with the commercial agenda, including food regulation, advertising, and digital technology. I spent part of my studies at the University of Antwerp, where I focused on European law. I was excited by my experience abroad, and so I went again, northbound – to study IP and life science in Copenhagen and to cycle through even more rain. I try to approach my work and what I can learn from it with the same enthusiasm. In my leisure time I like to run half marathons, bake banana bread, or travel.

The publication titled "Can a machine think?" by renowned scientist Alan Turing, and my first encounter with Pepper the robot, ignited a lifelong passion for the challenges of technology. This field, like any other aspect of human life, cannot do without belated state regulation, which encourages legal creativity in an unregulated industry. Information technology law and closely related intellectual property law and data protection are my daily challenge, which with each new case reinforces my curiosity and thirst for new information in this unexplored area.

My law practice is now mostly focused on pharmaceutical and health law. I discovered my interest in these fields during my studies at university, when I first started working in the pharmaceutical industry, and it hasn't left me even today. I gained experience in these areas not only in the legal profession, where I focused on corporate law and tax, but also in the association of pharmaceutical companies and during my internship at the Council of the European Union in Brussels, where I worked for the Public Health and Foodstuffs Department.
