About Stephan

A passionate and experienced legal expert with five years of specialized expertise in GDPR and migration law in Germany. Through my strong legal background, I have advised and supported business owners, entrepreneurs, and start-up founders in a variety of legal matters.

My clients are primarily active in e-commerce, including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, marketing and digital agencies, B2B, professional services, etc. They have found my expertise in the following areas to be valuable:

- Company formation in the EU
- Opening a bank account
- Contract review
- Work visa, work permit
- Drafting of documents (contracts, agreements, NDAs, privacy policies, terms of use, disclaimers, service agreements, freelancer agreements, distribution agreements, marketing agreements, memoranda, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, articles of association, ESOP, etc.)
- Obtaining tax numbers, business licenses, legalization of documents for China
- Additional services (change of structure, development of corporate structure, annual financial statements)
- Legal advice, legal research, legal writing
- Account reinstatement (Amazon, Ebay ...)
- Other account conflicts

As a GDPR expert, I primarily work with various start-ups, providing legal support on aspects of personal data collection and protection, the use of competitive intelligence, data security, and compliance. My expertise focuses on the intersection of the traditional and digital scope of national data protection laws and data transfer issues for companies.

In the months of October, November, and December 2022, I successfully completed courses in contract law, compliance, IT security, and data protection, and am therefore TÜV-certified Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer.
