Law is anything but a one-woman job.

Meet Marguerita Sedrati-Müller, counsel in our insurance practice group

Marguerita joined Schoenherr in 2018 as an attorney at law in our insurance team and was
promoted to counsel shortly after. She specialises in insurance law and represents clients
in insurance-related disputes as well as civil law matters. In addition, she is an admitted
mediator, a collaborative lawyer, and a leadership trainer. All while being a single-mom
of a teenage daughter.

Who are you and what do you do on a typical workday?
Hi, I'm Marguerita.
I am part of our insurance team, advising clients in insurance law and in insurance-related
disputes. My typical workday consists of meetings, phone calls, answering emails, going
to court, and of course solving legal questions and preparing pleadings and memos. In
addition to that, I regularly attend events, hold legal lectures or leadership trainings and
network – I like this exchange with people from various backgrounds a lot, that's why I also
trained as a leadership trainer. A part of my time is also devoted to the training of my legal
associates and trainees and general management tasks.

What do you like most about your job?
I like the versatility and the fact that I get to work with many people on different challenges
and help them master them.

What has been your greatest experience at Schoenherr so far?
I have so many nice experiences to look back at already, it is hard to pick one. Generally,
our practice group meetings are always an amazing chance to connect with colleagues
from all offices. It is the embodiment of one of our core values, collaboration – and as a
bonus, it usually takes place somewhere close to the sea (a big advantage of a firm
with many CEE offices).

I am proud of…
… my daughter, first and foremost. And I am proud that even in such a competitive industry,
I get to bring in my humanity, my people skills and femininity, because I see that it enriches
daily life and our work results immensely.
