I help international companies enter, grow and operate successfully in the European market by solving legal, GDPR, AI Act and compliance challenges before they become business problems. I am a **German-qualified lawyer (First and Second German State Examination in Law)**, a **certified Data Protection Officer (TÜV)** and **certified Compliance Officer (TÜV)** with extensive experience advising international businesses on European regulatory requirements. I currently serve as **External Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer for a German technology company**, while also advising international clients across SaaS, AI, HealthTech, education, e-commerce and digital services. Unlike many consultants who focus purely on legal theory, I work directly with founders, executives and operational teams to build compliance programs that are practical, commercially viable and support business growth. Over the course of my career I have advised companies and entrepreneurs from **more than 40 countries** across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, helping them establish legally compliant operations in Germany and throughout the European Union. ## What makes me different Many businesses don't simply need a GDPR consultant. They need one trusted advisor who understands how legal, privacy, compliance and commercial realities fit together. My clients work with me because I combine: • German legal education • Practical experience as a former attorney • Active work as External DPO and Compliance Officer • International business experience • Business-oriented advice instead of purely academic legal analysis • Clear communication in English and German I don't just draft documents. I help companies implement workable compliance structures that support sales, enterprise procurement, fundraising and long-term growth. --- # Core Services ## External Data Protection Officer (DPO) Ongoing privacy governance GDPR compliance monitoring Management reporting Internal policies Employee awareness Vendor assessments Regulatory guidance Incident response support Privacy governance frameworks --- ## GDPR & Privacy Compliance GDPR implementation Privacy assessments Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) Privacy Policies Cookie compliance Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs) Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) International data transfers Data subject request procedures (DSAR) Data breach procedures Vendor due diligence --- ## AI Act & AI Governance AI Act readiness assessments AI governance frameworks Risk assessments AI documentation Transparency obligations Internal AI policies Vendor assessments AI procurement reviews Governance structures Ideal for: • AI Startups • Generative AI • SaaS Platforms • Healthcare AI • Education Technology • Customer Support Automation --- ## Compliance & Corporate Governance Compliance frameworks Internal policies Governance documentation Risk management Compliance audits Regulatory implementation Operational compliance --- ## Commercial & Corporate Law GmbH and UG formation Commercial contracts Service agreements Terms & Conditions Shareholder agreements Market entry into Germany and the EU Cross-border business structures --- ## Healthcare & HealthTech Special category data GDPR Article 9 compliance Health data governance Privacy documentation Consent management Compliance reviews --- ## Industries Artificial Intelligence Software & SaaS HealthTech Education E-commerce Marketing Agencies Cloud Services Digital Platforms Professional Services International Startups SMEs Scale-ups --- # Why Clients Hire Me ✔ German-qualified lawyer ✔ Certified External Data Protection Officer (TÜV) ✔ Certified Compliance Officer (TÜV) ✔ Active DPO for a German technology company ✔ Experience advising clients from 40+ countries ✔ Hundreds of legal and compliance documents drafted ✔ Practical implementation instead of theoretical advice ✔ Strong commercial understanding ✔ Cost-efficient alternative to large law firms ✔ Long-term strategic partner for Germany and EU market entry Whether you need a long-term External DPO, GDPR implementation, AI Act readiness, compliance documentation, corporate governance or legal support for entering the European market, I provide practical, business-focused solutions that help companies grow with confidence.
