IT & Digitalisation in Employment Law

The global digital transformation requires companies to adapt to new regulatory and operational demands. In particular, the EU’s GDPR means that businesses must ensure data protection in everyday operations. In this context, we advise employers and companies on legal issues relating to data protection, IT compliance, and the use of AI in the workplace. Corporate policies, employee data protection, working‑time recording, IT usage clauses in employment contracts, monitoring software, electronic HR and personnel files, as well as IT works agreements are familiar territory for us.
