What things can inspire your enthusiasm?

Matthias Kühn: "Technology that solves real problems. Back in 2022 before the ChatGPT wave I got early access to the GPT-3 beta and used it to generate LaTeX formulas I couldn't write myself. When the model returned compilable code, I knew: this changes everything. What excites me most today is the intersection of AI and law. An entire industry is transforming, and we get to build tools that make lawyers even better at what they do.

Which of your skills would you probably suprise us with?

Matthias Kühn: "I can do a standing backflip. I used to do Parkour and taught gymnastics back in school and even though I haven't practiced in years, the acrobatic skills stuck: handstands, backflips, cartwheels. Proof available on request."

One day you wake up and you find you can do anything you want. What is the first thing you'll do?

Matthias Kühn: "Go on a world trip but not the postcard version. I want to ride with nomads across the Mongolian steppe, take an expedition into the Amazon, and feel the vastness of an East African safari. I've traveled quite a bit, but the places that fascinate me most are the ones that completely shift your perspective."

What things can inspire your enthusiasm?

Lisa Seyfried: "Above all, I love being inspired by other people's enthusiasm. When someone talks passionately about their topics or ideas, they can be sure I am in."

Which of your skills would you probably suprise us with?

Lisa Seyfried: "I have the superpower of never forgetting any number that I have ever memorized."

Why act legal?

What is the first thing you`ll do?

Gracia Engwaya: "I will grab a friend, buy a plane ticket to Mauritius or Martinique, pick a nice hotel and have a great time on the beach with good music and meeting great people."

What is your favourite movie or series?

Gracia Engwaya: "This is Us, a great series about family, love and society – I have already watched it four times."

If you were to choose a different profession, what would it be?

Gracia Engwaya: "Therapist. I suppose it would be more emotionally draining (because in corporate law you work with entities). However, I have always been interested in different characters and why people are the way they are, in order to understand others."

Sarah Grau: "Catch me if you can"

What’s the best career decision you’ve ever made?
