Data privacy and data protection

Homburger demonstrates an ‘exceptional command’ of data protection, privacy and regulatory compliance frameworks. Its clients range from global corporations in TMT, travel, hospitality, and retail to banks and insurers. The practice is spearheaded by Gregor Bühler, who earns praise for his ’deep technical understanding’ of cross-border data protection, privacy and regulatory issues, and Luca Dal Molin,, who provides counsel on data privacy and regulatory compliance in litigation, arbitration and advisory matters across the tech and insurance sectors. They are supported by Kirsten Wesiak-Schmidt, recognised as ‘very competent’ in Swiss and EU data protection, privacy compliance and IT/IP law.
