DevSecPriOps: 

The development of the digital world can hardly be stopped. Not only e-mail and social media profiles, but for example data on all aspects of life is now digital: finances, health, family history, political and personal opinions, personal habits, etc. This data is generated 7 days a week and analyzed if necessary.


Is our data still safe in this digital world?


The industry is under tremendous pressure to ensure this security by adopting stricter policies and practices.


The focus is on software development. The already practiced DevOps, i.e. the cooperation between software developers (development, "dev" for short) and IT operations (operation, "ops" for short) has already been supplemented by IT security (security, "sec" for short), including cyber - Effectively prevent attacks. More and more companies are now introducing data protection (privacy, "pri" for short) in a more targeted manner into software development.


And so software development is heading towards another trend reversal: DevSecPriOps

US export control law in the software sector

Foreign trade law has gained in importance in recent decades not only because of the rapid increase in world trade due to digitization, but also because of its constant change and unfortunately increasing threats. This applies to both German and European foreign trade law, and increasingly also to US export control law, in particular re-export control law.

In particular, pitfalls can be avoided in app development by developing and selling via the AppStore. Because US export control law has a direct effect there.

In both areas, our law firm offers both competent advice and support in order to avoid violations and to limit the greatest damage if a violation has already occurred.

In the area of US export controls in particular, we provide you with particularly competent advice and effective support.

We are an experienced law firm in this respect and work closely with IT consultants. Arrange a consultation appointment now.

Online Authorship

You run a website or a YouTube channel and contribute your own ideas there, upload photos you have taken yourself or publish a song you have composed yourself - in short: you create a work of which you are the author. Others may not use or reproduce this work without your permission. If this happens anyway, you can demand a cease and desist and assert claims for damages. We'll tell you how. Contact us!

Illegal Streaming Services

Many now know that using illegal streaming services is illegal and punishable. But what if your child uses such services without your knowledge? So are you responsible for that? It depends, answers jurisprudence here too. And indeed, it depends on the individual case, for example whether the parents have neglected their supervisory or duty of care. If you find a warning in your mailbox due to illegal streaming, the service of a law firm is required. Call us, we will help you!

Blackmail on the Internet

The right to pseudonymous communication, i.e. statements using a made-up name (nickname) on the Internet, is not prohibited and is also very beneficial for the free expression of opinion and the exchange of information. However, many use the possibility of pseudonymization to insult, expose or even threaten people they don't like. In particular, young people within the student body are affected. Those affected have the right to omission and deletion of such publications. By filing a criminal complaint, the police or the public prosecutor's office can identify the person hiding behind the pseudonym. We will help you get out of this awkward situation.
