IT Law, Data Protection, Contract Drafting & More: Legal Advice for the (Digital) Economy

25 Jahre Rickert Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft

Since 1997, we have been advising companies and organizations on all matters of IT law, e-commerce and data protection law, from the legally compliant design of digital business models to representation in data protection disputes.

We specialize in drafting and reviewing general terms and conditions (GTC) and contracts, assist you with domain law, trademark law and copyright law, and provide experienced support in employment law, particularly in the Bonn, Cologne and Rhein-Sieg region.

Our interdisciplinary team serves startups as well as small and medium-sized enterprises as an outsourced legal department. Larger companies consult us as specialists in IT/IP and data protection.

Many clients also trust us with cross-border GDPR matters, such as the appointment of an external data protection officer or acting as a representative under Article 27 GDPR, even beyond the borders of the European Union.

Business Formation and Startup

We advise founders, startups and established businesses on choosing the right legal form and structuring their contracts. We also support you with legal expertise on managing director liability, corporate governance and compliance structures.
