Annette Späth-Weinreich

Dr. Annette Späth-Weinreich serves as a part-time lecturer at Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Sciences (HfWU), leveraging her extensive professional experience as an associated partner at the Stuttgart-based law firm Reith Leisle Gabor Rechtsanwälte und Notar. Her academic role focuses on integrating practical legal expertise into business-oriented curricula, particularly in commercial law domains.

Her educational foundation includes comprehensive legal training across three institutions:

• University of Passau
• Université des Sciences Sociales (UT1) in Toulouse, France
• Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich

Specializing in corporate law, transformation law, and commercial law since 2010, she advises medium-sized enterprises on complex legal frameworks. Her 2013 appointment as a notary public representative further enhances her capacity to address transactional legal matters. At HfWU, she bridges theoretical legal education with real-world business applications, emphasizing contractual and regulatory challenges faced by enterprises.

Her professional trajectory—from legal traineeship in Stuttgart to partnership at a prominent law firm—provides students with actionable insights into German commercial law practice. As a practitioner-lecturer, she contributes to the university's mission of connecting academic instruction with industry relevance without involvement in research grants, laboratory work, or student advisement beyond classroom teaching.
