Of particular relevance is the field of renewable energies as an ever-growing area of advice, including hydrogen projects.

Career
Ms. von Götz took part in the Willem C. Vis Moot Court with a focus on international arbitration disputes during her studies at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich (Germany). Her interest in disputes was awakened early on. She realized that disputes are usually decided in substantive law and, after completing her studies and legal clerkship, began her dual practice in M&A/corporate law and procedural law in an international law firm in Germany with a focus on the Swedish market.
After a stint at the University of Zurich in international foundation law, Ms. von Götz advised international American law firms in corporate law and conducted national and international court and arbitration proceedings in German and English, most recently for Mayer Brown LLP in Frankfurt.
Ms. von Götz decided to join ROSE & PARTNER in 2024.
Private
Mrs. von Götz prefers to spend her free time with her husband and three daughters — when the mountains call, she likes to go to the Alps, where the wide open sky is even closer. Otherwise, she can be found among the roses and sequoia trees in the garden. For sporting ambition, she goes to the tennis court — and this year she started playing with her daughters.
