Isabelle Rüthers joined our firm on September 1, 2023. She impressed us not only with her excellent exam grades and mature personality, but also with the fact that she spent a year doing social work at a hospice care center in Chile, although she spoke no Spanish when she arrived and everyone else at the center spoke nothing but Spanish. We think this is an incredible personal achievement and makes Ms. Rüthers a great addition to the MAINWERK family.
