Jörg Wimmers, LL.M. (NYU)

Jörg specialises in the Internet, IT, media and telecommunications sectors and advises TMT companies on transactions and projects, product launches and the design of business models.

His clients include search engines, blogging and microblogging services, access providers, various hosting services and large Internet portals, which he advises and represents in particular on questions of liability on the Internet. In this context, which is continuously developing and is characterised by conflict, Jörg has led and continues to lead a large number of often ground-breaking test cases, particularly on questions of copyright, personal rights, press law and data protection law.
