The international law firm ADVANT Beiten strengthened its labour law division in Berlin at the beginning of October with Dr Ariane Loof, who has joined the firm from KPMG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft as a Salary Partner.

Ariana Loof will work in the team of Dr Thomas Puffe and Dr Thomas Barthel. She specializes in collective labour law and in data protection law, particularly in data protection law for employees. Before her time at KPMG, she worked for the law firm Dentons.

"We are very pleased that we were able to win over an experienced lawyer in Dr Loof, who besides her focus on classic labour law possesses extensive expertise in data protection law, particularly in data protection for employees," emphasizes Markus Künzel, Partner and head of the labour law practice group at ADVANT Beiten. "This area is becoming increasingly important in practice. Therefore, we are very happy that this allows us to perfect our line up not only at the Berlin office but also throughout Germany," the lawyer continues.
