This is an industry that fascinates you, and also fascinates us. Technical innovations make it possible to develop new products: a challenge not only for engineers and business people, but also for lawyers. The development and marketing of products require a firm legal basis. End-customer agreements are subject to special provisions in liability law. Every new product must be measured not only against the prevailing, but also a continually developing regulatory framework.

The use of infrastructure is especially strictly regulated; business models depend to a large extent on official decisions, be they the allocation of distribution capacity by a state media agency or the regulation of access - and fees for this access - to bottleneck infrastructures by the German Federal Network Agency.

The increasing convergence of technical platforms and growing diversification of communication content require legal counselling that is au fait with both content and infrastructure regulations. The advances in information technology have also given rise to stricter requirements regarding data protection and data security. Mistakes here can lead to not inconsiderable liability risks for companies.
