What we do
Media law, press law, reputation management
We advise on all media law topics. One focus is the protection of the reputation of companies and individuals in media crisis situations. Through the combination of effective legal defense and communication, we achieve maximum protection for our clients.
Trademarks
and Advertising
Whether start-up or large corporation: We advise on the development, registration and defense of trademarks, designs and domains. We also advise on all aspects of advertising. We have particular expertise in providing legal advice to influencers and influencer management companies.
Data and
Digitalization
We protect data of companies and individuals. Furthermore, we support the implementation of new projects in the digital environment and advise on the legally compliant, but also economical handling of data and its use.
What sets us apart
Pioneering spirit
Digitalization is transforming the world of law. We are actively shaping this change. We obtain case law on newly emerging legal issues and find practical solutions when the legislator lags behind the developments in “uncharted territory”.
In addition, our lawyers regularly provide net political impulses from consulting practice to politics.
Specialization
In the complex world of law, specialization is the key to success. We have consciously decided to concentrate our expertise on media law, intellectual property law and data law. This clear focus enables us to offer in-depth, up-to-date detailed knowledge in our core areas. In addition, we draw on a large network of colleagues with specialists from other fields.
Experience
The firm’s lawyers have a high level of expertise in their fields. They advise, among other things, in complex commercial proceedings such as “Cum-Ex”, the DFB affair and the Wirecard trial. They also represent well-known personalities from politics, business, culture and sports.
Our lawyers are active in teaching at several universities in all legal fields offered.
Network
The firm draws on a large network of lawyers, business and politics.
In media crisis situations of our clients, we develop a legal and communicative strategy with the actors involved. If necessary, we bring in well-known PR agencies.
In data protection matters, we work closely with an IT cooperation partner.
