Taylor Wessing fields a diverse TMT practice, which primarily supports large technology companies and platforms in the media sector. A key strength is the advice on the launch and expansion of digital tools and copyright-related products as well as data protection and competition law. Led by data protection lawyer Paul Voigt, the team is particularly well versed in supporting user-based platforms in matters pertaining to transparency and youth protection. Gregor Schmid is experienced in IT and e-commerce and routinely handles licensing agreements, terms and conditions and gaming-related matters. Jörg Wimmers regularly supports transactions and product launches in the digital space, while Malek Barudi, who made partner in April 2023, represents clients in copyright and personal rights proceedings.
