Latham & Watkins LLP impresses with market-leading support in fines and claims for damages in connection with data breaches, which was most recently demonstrated in various proceedings before the European Court of Justice. Other mainstays include the advice on the deletion of data and information claims as well as the support in internal investigations and cross-border administrative proceedings. Practice head Tim Wybitul comprehensively advises on all aspects of data protection, cyber and technology law and most recently took the lead in proceedings before German and European data protection authorities pertaining to the processing of biometric data in the context of iris scans. Isabelle Brams also focuses on administrative and court proceedings and complements this with expertise in employee data protection. Ulrich Wuermeling retired in 2023.
