Thies Schmitte

I am an associate in our privacy and data protection practice group, and technology and communications sector group teams in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, advising clients on all issues of data protection and IT law, specialising in the GDPR.

My particular focus is on employee and (inter-)company privacy matters, international data transfers, the implementation of the requirements of the GDPR, and on new business models such as big data, IoT, AI, cloud computing and connected cars. My practice also deals with IT contract law, ecommerce and all legal issues in connection with internet-based business models.

Before joining our firm in 2021, I worked as a lawyer in an international law firm in Frankfurt in IT, IP and data protection with a focus on technology transactions, IT outsourcings and IT and social media dispute resolution. Before that, I worked as a research assistant in IT/IP at an international law firm in Düsseldorf.
