I am a Senior Partner at BTS&Partners and I specialize in complex IT and telecommunication contracts (development, licensing, integration, outsourcing), electronic commerce and internet legal issues, privacy law and complex IT litigation (Expert proceedings, alternative dispute resolution)

I assist our clients in the management of their Intellectual Property portfolios and the establishment of their market strategies on complex ICT projects and in negotiating and drafting complex IT contracts with strong Intellectual Property and regulatory content.

I also have strong capability in data privacy where I advise businesses on how to strategically manage their privacy, security, electronic workplace, and e-business legal risks both domestically and globally. I have assisted a wide range of business in a variety of industries by developing a privacy strategy that yields practical solutions in a rapidly evolving area and that weighs costs and benefits in a light of a company’s risk profile and culture.
