Education & Career

As a long-standing employee of KINAST Attorneys at Law, Alexander has in-depth knowledge of, among other things, data protection in the social media environment and on websites. As part of his project-related consulting with clients, he deals, for example, with the implementation of new products, the creation of procedure directories, or the creation and updating of data protection declarations. In doing so, he always succeeds in bringing together the various interests of the client’s departments and relevant persons and in raising awareness for the topic of “data protection” in general.

In the context of project work and day-to-day business, Alexander’s tech-savvy and curious nature has helped him to develop target orientated solutions for, and with, his clients. He completed his legal training at the University of Cologne and progressed to be a trainee lawyer at the “Stabsstelle Digitalisierung” of the City of Cologne, among others.
