Anna Sophia Risse is a research assistant in the team supporting Laura Graßie. She supports mandate work in the university and financial sectors, but also advises NGOs and companies from a wide range of industries. She particularly enjoys working on long-term projects, helping to implement a watertight data protection concept- where the “before/after effect” is most visible.

Education & Career

Originally from Westphalia, Anna moved to Bonn to study law, where she majored in “International and European Law of Economic Relations” and completed her specialized foreign language training in Anglo-American law, among other things. Her project management during a voluntary service on the topic of “European Cooperation- Visions of the Future of the EU” also sharpened her knowledge of international contexts, which now benefits her in her work on data protection law. In addition to her English language qualifications, her knowledge of French is also extremely helpful for our international clients.

Having already worked for a law firm in Bonn during her studies, Anna gained an early insight of the day-to-day work of a lawyer. Additionally, numerous internships during her studies ensured that Anna already had a lot of legal experience when she joined Kinast Rechtsanwälte.
