A key pillar of Binder Grösswang‘s data protection practice lies in new technologies, where the firm advises on digitalisation processes and e-commerce matters. On both fronts the team has experience in acting for clients ranging from startups to multinationals on contentious proceedings before Austria’s data protection authority as well as advisory matters, including compliance with regulatory regimes. The team is led by Ivo Rungg, whose practice covers the digital sector, and Angelika Pallwein-Prettner, who advises employers on data protection and privacy compliance.
