IT law, e-commerce and data protection
Seize opportunities. Recognize risks. Guarantee security
The ever-increasing digitalization of society and economic life brings with it considerable opportunities and possibilities for companies, ranging from the adaptation and optimization of internal processes to the development of new business models or the opening up of completely new markets. At the same time, however, greater dependence on information technologies also harbors certain risks that need to be safeguarded against.
The regular handling of more and more extensive data sets also offers great potential across all sectors of the economy, but at the same time makes compliance with the relevant data protection regulations and the corresponding documentation essential when personal data is involved.
We provide you with comprehensive support in the field of information technologies and data protection, both on the provider and customer side. From support with digitalization, outsourcing or other IT projects, the development and maintenance of e-commerce models, the development and sale of hardware and software products to the evaluation and design of data-intensive processes and general data protection documentation.
Even if our approach is always to prevent potential conflicts through forward-looking structuring and advice, it is not always possible to avoid legal disputes or official action. Our range of services therefore also includes representation in such matters.
