Awet Yohannes Promoted to Senior Associate at Annerton

Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, 1 July 2026 – Annerton Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH has promoted Awet Yohannes to Senior Associate. With this promotion, the firm recognises his professional development and his commitment beyond client work.

Awet Yohannes already completed both his legal traineeship and elective placement (Anwaltsstation and Wahlstation) at the law firm, which specialises in regulatory law in the financial sector. He joined the firm as an attorney in July 2023. Based in the Munich office, he advises clients on all aspects of financial regulatory law, including payments, banking, crypto-assets and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

“Awet Yohannes has developed outstanding legal expertise and has built a high level of knowledge in our core practice areas. In addition, he has demonstrated a strong entrepreneurial mindset and is already making valuable contributions to both client work and the firm’s business development. His promotion to Senior Associate is therefore a well-deserved and logical next step,” says Peter Frey, Founding Partner of Annerton Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH.

“What fascinates me about financial regulatory law is that it goes far beyond legal analysis. It is about supporting companies in implementing innovative business models, advising them on complex regulatory requirements and working together to develop solutions for new challenges. From day one at Annerton, I have been entrusted with responsibility, worked closely with clients and contributed to innovative projects. I greatly appreciate the trust placed in me and the freedom that comes with it,” explains Awet Yohannes.
