Martin is definitely an attorney you can go to, if you need prompt, pragmatic and high-profile advice in IT/IP related matters.’

Compliance
Compliance incidents will often have serious negative consequences. Our teams use their expertise and experience to get you back on your feet after compliance violations.
Data Protection and Cybersecurity
The digital economy is data driven. Violations of the relevant regulations can lead to serious damage to the company’s image and result in high fines.
Digital Law: Blockchain & Tokenization
Digitization with the help of new technologies has the potential to revolutionize classic business models and the relationships between companies.
Digital Law: AI Act to Metaverse
We accompany and advise our clients in the legal analysis and market-oriented structuring of their business model and the use of new technologies. With our expertise and focus on digital law, we can develop targeted, innovative and future-oriented solutions even for previously unresolved legal issues.

Corporate and Commercial Law
Companies looking to expand internationally not only need to bridge cultural differences, but to also keep regulatory risks in mind.
Real Estate
We scrutinize the opportunities and risks of a real estate transaction, draft sales contracts and support our clients in sales contract negotiations.
IP/IT
Due to the fast-paced digitalization and the associated technology-savvy business models, the protection of intellectual property is becoming increasingly important. Technology, brands and data must be protected as effectively as possible in order to maintain a strategic competitive advantage over competitors.
Legal Operations / Legal Managed Services
With increasing size, the organizational structure of multinational corporations also becomes larger and more complex.
Public Law & Procurement
Public law permeates almost all areas of business and life. Due to the large number of national and European legal regulations, supplemented by international regulations, the challenge in all business areas (also) to fully comply with public law compliance requirements increases. Even small mistakes can lead to considerable delays in project execution or to lengthy and costly legal disputes. We show ways in which restrictions can be reduced and unjustified government intervention averted in order to achieve your economic goals.
Transactions / Mergers and Acquisitions
In today’s fast-paced business environment, many companies are taking advantage of market changes to expand through acquisitions. The transactions are becoming more and more complex. Contact our EY Law M&A Transactions team!
Antitrust and Competition Law
An early anti-trust assessment, especially in the context of company acquisitions and mergers, is essential nowadays.
