Legal 500 Germany 2023

Key lawyer for Healthcare

Scroll to featured award

Kathleen is known for her legal precision at the most dynamic intersections of the modern healthcare sector: regulatory complexity, strategic transformation, and digital innovation.

Her core transactional practice involves providing legal support for complex M&A processes in the healthcare sector across the entire spectrum of regulated healthcare providers: from outpatient medical care centers and physician practices to clinics, as well as outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation and nursing facilities. She conducts negotiations that translate the specificities of medical law, regulatory requirements, and diverging stakeholder interests into viable agreements.

In the field of Digital Health and HealthTech, Kathleen supports innovative care models from concept to scaling, both nationally and internationally. Her particular focus is on business models in telemedicine, including cross-border platform solutions, remote monitoring concepts, and AI-supported diagnostics. In addition, she advises on future-oriented fields such as lifestyle medicine, longevity, and data-driven care concepts, always with the goal of reconciling regulatory requirements with entrepreneurial vision.

Another key focus is on advising in the context of medical cannabis: Kathleen advises companies across the entire value chain. From regulatory market entry through telemedicine prescription models and advertising and communications compliance to traditional M&A transactions in this segment. Her profile is complemented by in-depth expertise in professional law for physicians and pharmacists as well as contract physician law.

Her advisory style is pragmatic, creative, and geared toward the realities of a rapidly changing healthcare market. Whether for investors, health tech startups, or established healthcare provider, Kathleen combines legal excellence with strategic foresight and a commitment to developing solutions that are effective not only today but also tomorrow.

Kathleen regularly publishes on topics related to her practice focus and is a co-author of the Nomos commentary on Social Long-Term Care Insurance, including the procedural requirements for Digital Care Applications (DiPA). She is a lecturer in the Master’s program in Health Management at Aalen University.
