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.
