Ulrich Schnittker
Lawyer
Lawyer Ulrich Schnittker worked for the Genossenschaftsverband - Verband der Regionen e.V. and its predecessor associations for a period of more than 30 years - predominantly in a managerial position. Here he was responsible for legal advice, in particular for cooperative banks. At the same time, he represented their interests as a licensed lawyer in a large number of proceedings, both in and out of court. He therefore has extensive knowledge of all areas of banking law and labor law. Furthermore, until his departure, he was the contact person at the association for more than two decades for all questions in connection with the drafting of contracts for full-time board members and executives. He now brings his profound experience to his work at Streitbörger.
