Dr. Martin Hejma
"I enjoy conveying current employment law content in a comprehensible way so that people remember it fondly even after the event. In my opinion, the best way to achieve this is to convey the content as practically as possible in close cooperation with the audience and to discuss specific questions together - as well as to laugh together at appropriate points."
