German Tech Lawyer | GDPR, EU AI Act & External DPO

Launching an AI, SaaS or digital-health product in Germany or the EU? I turn GDPR, EU AI Act and German legal requirements into documents and action plans your team can actually implement. German-qualified legal professional | TÜV-certified Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer | 200+ Upwork engagements | 100% Job Success | Top Rated I support international founders, legal teams and product teams that need practical European legal guidance—not generic templates or an academic memorandum. Typical projects • GDPR and EU market-entry audits • Privacy policies, DPAs, DPIAs, LIAs, TIAs and RoPAs • EU AI Act classification and compliance assessments • AI governance policies and AI literacy documentation • SaaS, software, service and vendor agreements • German Terms and Conditions and digital-product compliance • Health-tech, EdTech, mobile-app and sensitive-data projects • External DPO and ongoing fractional privacy counsel What you receive • A clear assessment of the relevant legal requirements • Documents tailored to your product, data flows and commercial model • A prioritised remediation plan—not merely a list of legal risks • Practical instructions for founders, developers and operational teams • Clear communication in English or German Why clients hire me I passed both German State Examinations in Law and previously practised as a German Rechtsanwalt. I am TÜV-certified as both a Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer. My experience includes ongoing work as an external Data Protection Officer and compliance adviser, as well as projects for international SaaS businesses, AI companies, educational providers, clinics and digital-product teams. Before starting, I review your situation and define: the precise scope, the required documents or assessment, the delivery timetable, and a transparent fixed price or ongoing support model. Send me a short description of your product, target markets and current compliance concern. I will tell you what you actually need—and what you probably do not need.
