• Data protection law

  Data protection management systems are now indispensable in many companies due to the exponential growth in data volumes and processed data sets caused by ongoing digitization. We advise you on all data protection issues and support you in the design and implementation of suitable systems.

• IP Compliance and Risk Assessments

  Intellectual property is an immense asset for any company. Inadequate protection of one’s own intellectual property as well as overly careless handling of third party rights can pose significant risks of loss and liability.

  With our DIN-based IP Risk Monitor Tool, we analyze all IP-related processes and decisions of your company. From the results of this analysis, we then derive possibilities and concrete solutions for risk minimization and show you measures for compliance-compliant IP behavior.

• IP Litigation

  A proactive approach is essential to protect and preserve IP assets. We represent you in all IP and competition law disputes, especially in court. Thanks to our extensive experience in litigation, whether on the merits or on an interim basis, we can always provide you with full and prompt support.

• IP Law

  Intellectual property (IP) comprises the intellectual property of companies, such as technical inventions, databases, brands or software, and is therefore one of the most important intangible assets. The importance of IP law will continue to grow in the future as these types of assets become more valuable. We use the latest technologies and our international network to provide the best solutions to protect your company’s intellectual property at all times.

• IT Law

  IT projects are often complex and can extend over a long period of time. It is therefore all the more important that they are carried out in a legally compliant manner.

  With our many years of experience in drafting and advising on IT contracts, we have already successfully supported many IT awards and tenders. Complex IT and digitization projects in particular are an important focus of our consulting spectrum. Our expertise also includes state-of-the-art topics such as agile software development agreements and the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, so that our clients are always best positioned for new business models in the areas of Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, e-business and platform models.

• Patent monitoring

  The number of patent applications and grants is increasing worldwide. This is increasingly a challenge for companies, as they need to have a constantly updated overview of the patent-protected technological environment in which they operate, as well as information about the IP rights of their competitors.

  Our technology-supported analysis of worldwide patent databases always keeps you up to date with regard to new patents and thus minimizes the risk of property right infringements.
