DSGVO: WirtschaftsWoche ranks GvW Graf von Westphalen among the leading law firms in IT law
GvW Graf von Westphalen is listed as a leading IT law firm in a current ranking by WirtschaftsWoche. Practice group leader Stephan Menzemer from GvW's Frankfurt office ranks among the 40 lawyers in Germany most frequently recommended by IT experts.
The results are based on a survey of 538 IT legal experts from 74 law firms. In a second step, a jury of experts, including syndicate members from large industrial companies, selected the most renowned lawyers.
The GvW IT legal team accompanies suppliers and users in particular at the interfaces of data protection, IT security and IT legal compliance. Advice in the context of the implementation of the DSGVO has increased significantly in recent times: For example, GvW is piloting the global DSGVO project of an international market leader in agile software development as an external data protection officer. With their many years of experience in the field of artificial intelligence, our attorneys currently also advise one of the largest manufacturers of industrial robots as an extended workbench for the data protection officer.
