Laura-Akofa Kalipé studied law at Bielefeld University, specializing in labor and social law. Alongside her studies, she volunteered at a legal advice center for people in need. During her legal traineeship at the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf, she deepened her legal knowledge and gained valuable insights into the diverse realities of legal practice. Her professional career then took her to Cape Town, South Africa, where she focused intensively on complex areas of law, including immigration law.
Her professional development was further enriched by a part-time position at ERGO Group AG. There, she dealt with compliance matters, particularly white-collar crime. This part-time work, both before and during her legal traineeship, provided her with a comprehensive understanding of corporate law and thus fostered the skills essential for her legal practice.
