We advise our clients comprehensively on all issues connected with information technology (IT) and intellectual property (IP).

The key areas of our activities in the field of IT law lie in drafting and negotiating contracts and general terms and conditions of business. We also support our clients in enforcing or defending claims within the scope of extensive IT projects and in matters of domain disputes. In the IT-related area of data protection law we advise our principals on dealings with client and staff data, etc.

Our advisory services in the field of intellectual property extend in particular to designing publicity and promotional materials, establishing product names and protecting these as trademarks, as well as taking action against infringements of intellectual property, matters connected with remote-purchase law, e-commerce, price indication law, direct marketing and consumer protection law. We also possess experience in various legal fields connected with the law governing competition, in particular in food and feed law.
