Benjamin is here to help

In fact, there’s whole team of experienced lawyers and data protection experts ready to advise you on your international data protection issues.

Benjamin grew up in the Lower Rhine region and, after completing his studies and legal clerkship in Berlin, returned to the Rhineland with one eye smiling and one eye crying. When he's not protecting data, he spends most of his free time with his daughters. After the 'family council' banned him from riding his motorcycle, he searches for his former form on the tennis court with relentless effort. This only ever happens in the few moments that are not already scheduled.

Benjamin specialises in the following branches
