ADVANT Beiten
ADVANT Beiten stands out thanks to the close cooperation of the IT and media practices. This expertise benefits clients from the gaming, finance and healthcare sectors. The client portfolio includes companies as well as public sector players, which the team advises on risk management, contract design, digitisation projects and compliance. The latter is a key competence of Susanne Klein, who made partner in November 2022. The partner roster was further strengthened with the addition of Birgit Münchbach (August 2022, previously at Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner) and Ariane Loof (October 2022, formerly KPMG Law in Germany). While Münchbach focuses on digital business models and cloud solutions, Loof acts at the interface between data protection and employment law. Practice head Andreas Lober is well versed in litigation and clients' representation before the supervisory authorities.
