Shima Abbady

I am an associate in our Commercial group in The Hague where I specialise in advice and litigation relating to data and technology. I am a member of our Artificial Intelligence, Data Protection and Tech & Comms groups.

I mainly provide advice to and litigate for clients on a broad range of data related matters, such as AI, data protection and cybersecurity. I also often litigate and advise on other commercial topics, including contracting, platform liability, product liability, consumer regulatory law and e-commerce.

In my practice, I enjoy combining the strategic and practical with the academic and theoretical. I have been able to gain a good understanding of the practical and strategic issues that companies face thanks to my in-house experiences advising on data protection matters to a social media platform and an international payment services provider. I am currently training my academic and theoretical skills by undertaking PhD research in the field of AI.
