Career

Remy is a partner at Brinkhof and specialises in media, copyright and information law, with a particular focus on online platforms. He is also one of the driving forces behind Brinkhof's copyright, media and platforms team, which provides global media and technology companies with advice regarding the regulation of digital services in Europe and the Netherlands. Remy’s expertise not only encompasses advising on the development of EU legislation and its transposition into national law, but also extends to assisting clients in connection with compliance and investigations by supervisory authorities, and to conducting civil and administrative proceedings.

With expertise extending across the entire spectrum of information law, the team offers comprehensive litigation and advisory services. It handles a wide range of issues, including collective actions, content moderation, audiovisual copyright (including tariff disputes), artificial intelligence, telecoms and media regulation (with a focus on strategy and jurisdictional disputes), public access to government information, re-use of public sector information, press publications and portrait rights, as well as the erasure and disclosure of data in civil enforcement proceedings, criminal proceedings, and matters of national security.

As a lawyer, Remy has represented clients in numerous proceedings before national and European courts on issues including the liability and responsibility of online intermediaries, content moderation, digital copyright, unlawful press publications, and the 'right to be forgotten'. He is also the trusted advisor to some of the world's largest media and technology companies. In that role, he combines legal creativity with a deep understanding of the technical, business and social context in which digital service providers operate.
