She regularly supports national and international companies in the implementation and restructuring of innovative distribution systems, and manages complex projects across practice groups and countries.
Susanne also advises on product-related regulatory requirements at international, European and German level (e.g. market access regulations, product labeling and notification, CE marking) and regularly coordinates global projects for clients in this area.
