Dr. Jonathan Burmeister

Curriculum vitae

I was born close to Hamburg and I studied law at the University of Hamburg. Already during my studies I started to work in law firms in the fields of criminal and migration law (i.A. . Dr. iur. h.c. Gerhard Strate at Kanzlei Strate & Ventzke and Elmar Böhm at Scharf & Wolter).

As a scientifical colleague I taught criminal law for 4 years at the University of Hamburg. I did a doctorate (magna cum laude) regarding the criminal law topic of honor killings. After finishing my PhD I moved to Berlin to work as a lawyer. Occasionaly I taught at the HWR (Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin - Berlin School of Economics and Law)

My areas of expertise as a lawyer are Criminal Law, Immigration Law and Tenancy Law, with Criminal Law beeing my main focus. Because of my special knowledge and experience in the field of criminal defense, I was awarded the official title of “Certified Specialist Lawyer for Criminal Law“.
My law firm is located in the Energieforum directly on the Spree.
