Christian Leitmann, attorney at law, was born in Timisoara, Romania in 1978.
As a late ethnic German re-settler, he then moved to Germany in his early childhood along with his parents, leaving behind family and friends. The early school years in Germany were marked among others by the challenges he met as a “foreigner” in finding new social contacts and getting the proper recognition as a pupil and friend. Although he grew up in a stable family environment, he experienced to some extent a variety of family problems and disputes in his circle of acquaintances and friends.
He is a law graduate of Heidelberg University. While in law school he also embarked on multiple study-related stay abroad sessions which later translated into experience and major development as a person and professional. Getting acquainted with different legal systems in addition to speaking several languages allow Mr. Christian Leitmann to work on national as well as international cases.
