Kirsten Ammon

My main areas of practice
A particular focus is on advising on digital business models. I have many years of experience in developing practicable data protection law solutions for companies (also in the context of external data protection commissioning).

Furthermore, I support the strategic market entry of international companies in the EU. In addition, I advise on employee data protection, supervise official proceedings in the field of data protection law and advise on general commercial contract law issues.

Our clients include tech, e-commerce and media companies.

I am a member of the Fieldfisher Group "Tech meets Finance", CIPP/E and CIPM (IAPP) certified as well as a certified data protection officer and auditor (TÜV®).

I advise our clients in German and English.

My background
I studied in Hamburg with a focus on "Information and Communication". During my studies and legal traineeship, I gained practical experience in law firms specialising in IT, copyright and media law and/or intellectual property law.

Before joining Fieldfisher, I worked for three months at an international commercial law firm in Sydney, Australia, focusing on data protection and trademark law.
