Being an in-house lawyer, I have the pleasure of working on a broad range of legal topics closely linked to business activities and specific business needs. Recently, our team has been deeply involved in supporting the business with M&A activities and new strategic business decisions. Furthermore, our team has continued to strengthen our setup for GDPR and Information Security aspects. This not only includes maintaining basic corporate GDPR compliance but also supporting sales activities with contractual templates, data processing agreements, ISAE 3000 certificates, ISO 27001, awareness training, and both internal and external audit activities.

Our team is deeply involved in Risk Management and drives the process to identify, analyse, evaluate, and mitigate risks in close collaboration with key stakeholders in the organisation. We support drafting and implementing policies and guidelines to meet business needs. Additionally, we conduct interactive compliance training in selected areas, increasing general awareness and implementing actionable guidelines to support desired behaviour in areas identified through our Risk Management.

What emerging technologies do you see as having the most significant impact on the legal profession in the near future, and how do you stay updated on these developments?
