What brings you here?

High-level data protection advice

The standard is the law, the work is the implementation. It requires that the legal position, the risk assessment, the measure and the technical execution are brought together.

  • Out of the Institute for Legal Informatics

    lexICT is a spin-off of the Institute for Legal Informatics at Leibniz University Hanover, with more than 500 academic publications. Complex facts and unsettled legal positions are our speciality.

  • Other fields of law through the firm

    Where a question goes beyond data protection law, the affiliated firm lexICT legal takes over. It advises in every field of law relevant to the implementation of an IT project.

  • With a nerd factor

    Our lawyers have a level of technical understanding that allows them to follow and assess technical facts. Correctly established facts are in turn the basis of a sound legal assessment.

About us

We strike the right chord for you

Our method rests on the triad of pragmatism, individuality and legal certainty.
