Technology & Data Protection

Information Technology is rapidly changing all aspects of commerce. The most recent developments regarding artificial intelligence are a further fascinating aspect of this process. This area is therefore constantly generating novel legal issues in a field that is still largely unregulated. Our team at ZEILER not only uses AI systems in its legal work but also understands these developments from both a legal and a technical point of view. This includes, in particular, the regulatory framework governed by the (yet to be enacted) AI Act as well as the GDPR.

Particularly since the implementation of the GDPR, companies have become increasingly aware of how data protection issues impact business and industry sectors. Due to the hefty fines introduced by European legislators, compliance with the rules has become key. Failure to safeguard people’s privacy or to ensure the security of their data can lead not only to substantial fines but may also severely damage a company’s brand.

We advise our clients on the full range of employment-related data protection and privacy issues and assist in implementing modern technology in their working environment.

Our services range from assessing all aspects of employment and data protection law to preparing all required documents and agreements, such as drafting shop agreements, and negotiating with the works council.
