About Me
I advise on matters of IT law, data law and copyright law. A particular focus is on advising on European legislation, such as the Data Act and the AI Act.
As an associate in our Technology & Communications Practice Group and Commercial Sector Group in the Hamburg office, I focus on contractual matters. I advise clients on digitalisation and complex IT and outsourcing projects. I also draft software development and software licence agreements as well as data use and data licence agreements. In this context, I also assist companies with the implementation of the EU Data Act and the AI Act.As an author of legal commentaries (in publication), I have extensively dealt with the Data Act (data sharing obligations, technical protection measures) and the AI Act (requirements for high-risk AI systems, risk management system, human oversight). I regularly give lectures on current IT and data law issues to legal professionals and companies. I also have published numerous articles in legal journals on data law and artificial intelligence. I furthermore write the column 'Navigate Digital Regulation' in the maritime magazine Schiff&Hafen.
I started working as a lawyer in 2023.
