Robert Weinhold Counsel

Düsseldorf

Robert war schon immer fasziniert von neuen Technologien und der Digitalisierung. Seiner Faszination folgend spezialisierte er sich auf Medienrecht, Immaterialgüterrecht und Datenschutzrecht. Bevor er bei Orrick tätig wurde, sammelte er auch Erfahrungen bei der Gründung eines Unternehmens, das eine Software as a Platform Dienstleistung anbot und indem er für einen deutschen Venture-Capital-Investor tätig war. Seine Rechtsberatung zu Technologietransaktionen - insbesondere zu SaaS- und IP-Vereinbarungen, E-Commerce bezogenen Themen, der damit verbundenen Unterstützung bei Fusionen und Übernahmen oder dem Datenschutz - spiegelt nicht nur seine rechtliche Expertise wider, sondern auch seine Erfahrung und Faszination für neue Technologien. Als IT- und IP-Anwalt mit einer sehr wirtschaftlichen Mentalität entwirft und verhandelt Robert alle Arten von IT- und IP-Vereinbarungen für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen ebenso für große multinationale Konzerne. Er berät bei Fragen der Compliance mit dem Datenschutz - insbesondere bei Entwürfen von Datenschutzerklärungen und nationalen sowie internationalen Auftragsverarbeitungsvereinbarungen - oder stellt seine Expertise bei der Beurteilung von IP/IT- und Datenschutzfragen bei M&A-Transaktionen zur Verfügung. Er berät auch bei GDPR-Compliance-Projekten und bei der allgemeinen Einhaltung des Datenschutzes.

Er kam 2017 zu Orrick, nachdem er als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter auf dem Gebiet des Datenschutzes geforscht hat.

Jeremy Kudon Partner

New York

No other group in the United States - whether at a law firm, public affairs firm, or inside the Beltway - can match Jeremy and Orrick's record of success in the state legislatures. Unlike others, who specialize in tracking bills, identifying contract lobbyists (and taking a % of their fee), or developing expensive media and PR campaigns, Jeremy and his team don't specialize in any one area of state government affairs; they specialize in EVERYTHING. They learn your business, work with you on your objectives--both overall and in the state legislatures, identify threats/opportunities, develop a budget, hire contract lobbyists, draft legislation, prepare advocacy pieces, attend legislative conferences, travel to state capitols and educate members about your issue, testify before committees, develop and implement grassroots and PR campaigns, coordinate roll calls, and coordinate every aspect of both the state and overall campaign to add the most possible value to your business.

Just listen to what the media and our clients have to say – The New York Times profiled our efforts in passing online sports betting and daily fantasy sports legislation in an extensive above-the-fold report and in an episode of their podcast, “The Daily.” And from an interview with TechCruch, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said Jeremy and Orrick’s Public Policy team have “helped us go from a tech company that didn’t know a whole lot about legislative affairs and regulation to really being sophisticated there” and praised that “For anyone who’s in a disruptive industry and might be regulated, they really did a fantastic job.”
