Key contact for transactions, projects and contractual disputes with strong technological content.

Carsten heads up the German Technology, Media & Communications Sector Group. He specialises in complex IT and technology projects, transactions and agreements.

Advising at the interface of new technologies and classic industries, he represents world market leaders, international companies and European medium-sized businesses. He manages projects from the initial contact through implementation to project conclusion, and also during escalations of failed contractual relationships. His approach is: understanding the challenges and finding solutions, belonging to the client team on a long-term basis and creating added value for all participants beyond the project – Carsten is a far-sighted legal adviser.
