Astrid WagnerArendt & Medernach

Drawing upon ‘highly extensive legal know-how’ but also able to frame advice in a ‘solutions-oriented’ manner, Arendt & Medernach is a popular choice across a range of IP and IT-related mandates, including large-scale digitalisation projects for financial services entities. Data protection is a particular area of strength, with clients benefiting not only from the group’s core legal expertise in the area but also its ability to provide a multi-disciplinary approach, should the need arise – often working alongside litigators and forensics experts, as well as the firm’s in-house regulatory and consulting arm. Astrid Wagner is ‘calm, highly skilled and pleasant to work with’, and heads a team that also includes a number of knowledgeable senior associates, including Sophie Calmes who was promoted to the role in April 2023.
