Wolf Theiss Rechtsanwälte GmbH & Co KG's clients task it with defending their handling of client and customer data before Austria's data protection authority and courts, including cases stemming from alleged GDPR breaches and those occurring in the wake of cyber-security incidents. Practice head Roland Marko takes the lead on such claims, in addition to overseeing mass claim defences in the wake of data breaches. Paulina Pomorski handles a mixed contentious and advisory caseload, notably overseeing data-related internal investigations for her clients, with Johannes Sekanina assisting clients with the implementation of data protection systems.
