Let’s Talk.
Whether it’s EU representation, AI compliance, or privacy governance – I provide thoughtful solutions and honest advice.
Hi, I’m Niko — your legal partner for data protection, AI compliance, and digital transformation. Straightforward. Strategic. On equal footing.
As an experienced attorney with an international background, I support you with practical solutions in the fields of law, data protection, and digital transformation. I studied law in Cologne and Cambridge and have been admitted to the bar ever since.
My professional path includes working in international commercial law firms as well as in-house roles as Legal Counsel and Data Protection Officer. I’ve also gained valuable insights as a member of a supervisory board. My advisory focus includes data protection, IT law, corporate law, and legal aspects of digital transformation. As a CIPP/E-certified privacy professional (IAPP), I bring deep expertise and international perspective.
I develop legally sound, practical solutions – with a special focus on international contexts. I value trust and partnership in every collaboration. Integrity, pragmatism, and sustainability define my approach. I believe in clear, direct communication and solutions that work in practice.
The digital world offers vast opportunities – and I enjoy working with technologies that drive meaningful change. My goal is to apply them responsibly and purposefully to create sustainable progress.
I deliberately limit the number of exclusive mandates I accept to give each matter the full attention it deserves. I work in a pragmatic, clear, and solution-oriented way – avoiding abstract complexity. Competence, empathy, and confidentiality are fundamental to every mandate I take on.
If you’re looking for a solution tailored to your specific needs, let’s have a non-binding conversation and explore how we can move forward together.
