Data Act, AI Act, DORA etc. – increasingly complex laws require focused, solution-oriented and well thought-out decision-making aids and solutions!

Perspective. Keep calm. Trend topics such as AI, ML, blockchain and IoT place high legal demands on companies. If you want to stay on top of things, you need a guide who not only knows their way around, but who can also find an unwavering path through the jungle. Roland Stempelmann supports clients in maintaining a clear overview, making targeted decisions and developing efficient, accessible solutions.

Dear Roland, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?

“In IT law, the main challenge is to translate complex requirements into legal language and vice versa. As a lawyer, I am the mediator between these worlds: Understanding my clients’ concerns and goals – and then providing focused, clearly tangible legal guidance. This enables my clients to make decisions with confidence.”

IT, IP and data protection law – getting to the heart of the matter!

IT, IP and data protection law is a very dynamic area of law with numerous overlaps with the most diverse areas of corporate and commercial law. The focus of my legal advice is on sorting out this enormous field and separating the core from the core. And then to set up my clients so that they know what they need to know. No more and no less.
