My main areas of practice
A particular focus is on data protection advice for regulated industries such as financial services, the healthcare sector, telecommunications, online platforms and new technologies.

I have extensive experience as an external Data Protection Officer and in providing ongoing compliance advice as well as project support and handling individual enquiries for US, Asian and European clients.

I regularly advise on the overlap with other regulatory areas such as consumer protection, telecommunications law, media regulation and online youth protection.

I advise my clients in German and English.
