Heike’s favourite book is “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer. “In today’s world, we are always so busy and hurrying, rushing to get somewhere. This book reminds me of what is important in life, it gives a helpful roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.”
Heike joined Barnard in 2018 as a candidate attorney. She was admitted as an attorney in 2020, just a few days before lockdown.
As an associate in the Commercial Law department, she is responsible for commercial contract drafting and reviewing; drafting and reviewing of Terms & Conditions; the drafting and reviewing of waivers and indemnity forms; company registrations and company restructures; commercial litigation and legal compliance audits.
“I absolutely love the firm’s culture. The people I work with are so experienced in their fields of practice, it is nice to learn something new from someone every day.”
