I'm a technology, copyright, AI, cyber security and data protection lawyer. My ambition is to provide the best and most suitable advice to clients and, in particular, to guide them through their technology transactions, IT and data in a pragmatic, solution-driven and innovative manner.

As a resource, it is fuelling many breakthrough successes (such as using AI to enable innovative drug developments, enhanced SaaS solutions or other product innovations), dramatically reducing development lead times and costs, and providing unpresented BI (e.g. to provide predictive maintenance or anticipatory shipments to industrial or retail customers).
