Paving a new path.
Combining a passion for the law, management, and creativity under one roof.
After having worked at a large law firm for a number of years, Christine Nikander founded her own freelance company in August 2020. Through her business, Christine offers her EU-based clients legal, management and content creation services on an interim, freelance, consultancy, contractual or project basis.
Christine also has a small artist's studio in the north of Germany. Through the studio branch of her company, she produces and sells a selection of her creative work.
Christine Nikander aims to provide her clients with an efficient and cost-effective alternative to the traditional providers of legal, management and content production services. Her focus is on meeting her clients’ needs in a manner that is both timely and provides for high-quality output. She takes a pragmatic and hands-on approach to her work, and she avoids unnecessary costs and bureaucracy.
​
As an independent contractor and freelancer, Christine pays taxation and social security contributions in accordance to the law from the fees paid to her for the projects and contract work she completes. She will send you invoices for the completed work, in line with the fee structure agreed upon.
