With unique expertise in the technology field, FISCHER (FBC & Co.) has an impressive client base, including leading technology and media operators, financial institutions, telecoms companies and start-ups, which routinely engage the team in complex IP-related issues, such as commercial transactions, licensing agreements and commercial cyber issues and regulation. The team is led by technology specialist Amit Dat, who also chairs the cyber and IT department, and is noted for his knowledge in data transfers and IP-related transactions. Omri Rachum-Twaig is recognised as the ‘foremost expert in the fields of privacy and cyber law’ and focuses on transactional work, ranging from technology transfer agreements to IP licensing.
