McDermott Will & Emery Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater LLP offers regulatory and project-related advice to financial institutions, media and broadcasting operators, collecting societies and production companies on cooperation agreements, youth protection, advertising and data protection. A core focus is dispute resolution, where the team recently acted in model proceedings in connection with advertising and licensing disputes. Renowned litigator Wolfgang von Frentz regularly taked the lead here; he is the sole practice head since former co-head and licensing lawyer Ralf Weisser became self-employed in January 2023. Christian Masch is another experienced litigator and also advises on compliance issues pertaining to copyright and data protection law.
