Vita
Sabrina Aurnhammer studied law at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich (Germany). Part of her legal training at the Higher Regional Court of Munich involved working in the antitrust department of an international commercial law firm in Munich, another part working in Sydney (Australia), where she dealt with matters at the interface between corporate/M&A and antitrust law. During a three-year period spent living in Singapore and a period spent working in a large Singapore-based commercial law firm, she gained further insight into the APAC region. Sabrina Aurnhammer is a member of Studienvereinigung Kartellrecht, an association of German-speaking lawyers specialising in antitrust law, and of Forum Investitionsprüfung, a German association encouraging discussion about topics related to foreign investment review.
