In addition, we represent our clients in data protection disputes, especially as regards the exercise of the right of access, and assist our clients in the exercise of their rights against third parties. We also represent our clients in proceedings related to the Freedom of Information Act.

Our services include: compliance with the Federal Act on Data Protection, including the revised Act, review and drafting of privacy or retention policies, review and drafting of contractual clauses relating to data protection, representation in data protection disputes (the right of access and exercise of rights vis-à-vis third parties) or before the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Digital law and new technologies

The use of new information and communication technologies involves complex and multidisciplinary legal issues.

In this context, we advise our clients on intellectual property matters, in particular trademark law (domain name disputes, etc.), design law and copyright law (e.g. digital use of protected works).

). We also assist our clients in the drafting of various contracts, in particular IT contracts, internet sales contracts and software licences.
