Expertises

Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is extremely valuable for many companies. By exploiting intellectual property rights, investments in innovation can be recouped. By enforcing intellectual property rights, competitors can be kept at bay.
IT
IT plays a crucial role in today’s business operations – and with rapid innovation come complex legal challenges. From cloud services and outsourcing agreements to data protection and litigation, we help navigate risks and seize opportunities.
Privacy & Data Protection
The growing use of personal data by companies, government bodies and other organisations has created a legal framework that is constantly evolving. Almost every organisation processes personal data, such as information on users, customers, employees and business contacts.
Technology
Whether it's about the largest and fastest-growing companies having technology at the core of their business model, financial institutions developing new ways to commercialise their services or industrials relying heavily on technology for their products – technology is top of mind.
