We know our field
The team led by Sabine Fuhrmann and Peter Hense combines legal knowledge with business experience and expertise. Encompassing diverse aspects of e-commerce, competition and IT law, the various strengths of each of our attorneys-at-law complement each other well. We examine internet-based business models, draw up contemporary affiliation agreements, explain modern forms of funding and defend data rights, trademarks and copyrights – if necessary, of course, in a court of law. This is why Spirit Legal LLP sees itself as a cutting-edge consultant to the digital economy.
