GERMANY Alma Managing Partner Pilati + Fritz Rechtsanwälte Family Lawyer of the Year FritzAlma, congratulations on winning the Lawyer Monthly Legal Awards for Family Law in Germany! Can you share your career journey and what inspired you to specialise in family law? Thank you very much! It is a very great honour for me to receive this award. I came to Germany with my family from Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. I studied at the Goethe University in Frankfurt and in the course of my degree course I already opted to specialise in family law. During my degree, I worked as a research assistant at the university at the chair of Prof Dr Pfeiffer. I have been with the firm for 16 years now, 10 of them as a lawyer, four years as a partner and currently as a managing partner. My professional home was, and still is, the law firm that I now manage and that will operate under the name Fritz Legal from next year on, after Kristina Gräfin Pilati left the firm at the end of September. A new chapter is beginning and I’m looking forward to it! The combination of legal work and the opportunity to support people in difficult personal situations inspired me to focus on this field of law. Today, I am as enthusiastic about the diversity of topics and the large number of overlaps with other areas of law as I am about the international orientation of our law firm. What do you find most rewarding about working in family law?
