Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

While a few global players were already well prepared in the long term for the entry into force of the GDPR, most companies have built up the most basic data protection compliance structures rather frantically within a very short time. Particularly amongst international companies, mandatory data protection procedures are often still in their infancy. It is high time to catch up here.

But even the most reliable data protection structures cannot be rested on. The highly dynamic nature of this area of law as well as the rapid pace of digitalisation, particularly during the COVID pandemic, require established procedures to be reviewed and adapted on an ongoing basis.

As part of a team specialising on data protection law, I help clients to create sustainable and resilient data protection structures and to keep them up-to-date against the backdrop of the dynamic development of the legal landscape and technological progress. Only those who understand the risks, recognise them in time and classify them correctly can make reliable economic decisions and protect themselves from unpleasant surprises.
