Dr. Nikolaus Marek

Attorney-at-Law/ Counsel

Hi, I’m Nikolaus and the founder of Waterkant Legal. In addition to my work at Waterkant Legal, I am Senior Legal Counsel at a biotech company in the field of drug research and development and already have several years of in-house experience as well as experience in an international law firm in the Life Science/Healthcare sector.

I specialize in providing advice in the areas of Corporate Law, Commercial Law and Financing & Grants. Based on my experience and specialization, I appreciate the interests of my clients from the internal perspective of a company and offer creative, customized and feasible solutions that also adequately consider and protect economic interests.

In recent years, I was involved in numerous complex projects and supported my clients not only legally, but also strategically and conceptually in related non-legal matters.

I am admitted to practice as attorney in Hamburg since 2016 and speak German, English and Polish.
