We have been advising companies and private individuals on IT, media and data protection law for over 20 years –
from sole traders, fast-growing companies and market leaders.
We are also appointed as data protection officers, ensure compliance in companies, give lectures on AI and have founded the Centre for Data Protection.
Our experience, expertise and perseverance will lead to your success.
For companies, we create all legal texts for company websites, draft contracts for the services offered and review contracts with service providers. We advise on online marketing with advertising emails and newsletters, social media, domains and influencers and take care of negative reviews and posts. We also defend companies against warnings due to legal infringements, organise data protection, assist in data protection disputes with authorities and take care of claims management.
We also have a great deal of experience with filehosters, illegal cinema sites and e-learning providers that have caused a nationwide stir.
We help private individuals and personalities with infringing postings, search engine hits and image use, as well as with identity theft, warning letters and subscription traps.
As external data protection officers, we also ensure GDPR-compliant data processing and are also consulted by companies, corporate groups and authorities on compliance and IT security.
The range of information and lectures on artificial intelligence (AI) and membership of the Zentrum für Datenschutz e.V. round off our services.
As a specialized commercial law firm, we draw our technical expertise from a constantly growing network of different IT experts. Prof. Dr. Tapella, lawyer, certified data protection officer and professor of IT and commercial law, and Dr. Jütte, lawyer and in-house lawyer, look forward to hearing from you.
