Wolf Theiss Rechtsanwälte GmbH & Co KG’s data protection practice straddles the divide between day-to-day compliance advice, including assisting clients with devising and implementing data protection and management systems, and contentious mandates, notably defending a number of clients facing GDPR breach fines. Under the guidance of Roland Marko, whose contentious practice covers privacy disputes in addition to the coordination of breach of GDPR defences, the firm can also support clients looking to set up whistleblowing systems. Paulina Pomorski, who is also admitted in New York, provides further data protection compliance and litigation capability, and is also well versed in overseeing the data protection and IT aspects of M&A.
