Antje Peterhänsel

Dr. Antje Peterhänsel, a partner at Littler in Frankfurt, describes herself as pragmatic and balancing. These are qualities which benefit her when dealing with works councils and litigation where she must mediate between different interests, and where purely legal measures will not lead to the desired outcome. This enables her to create creative and lasting solutions, characteristics that can also be found in her paintings and her garden.
