Greenberg Traurig Germany, LLP is strengthening its Data Protection Practice with new Partner Philip Radlanski. Radlanski joins from Morrison Foerster, where he helped shape ground-breaking projects and proceedings in Berlin and New York over the past eight years.
As Europe's data protection laws expand beyond the EU, and data protection authorities take more rigorous approaches to enforcing data protection compliance, Radlanski's addition to the Greenberg Traurig team strengthens the firm's ability to meet increasing demand for legal support in the data privacy space, as well as on the EU Data Act, Digital Services Act, and AI Act.
Radlanski joins a growing international data protection team at Greenberg Traurig that focuses on development of new business models and cloud products, implementation of data protection measures, data transfers, employee data protection, and advice in the event of a data breach. Other core areas include data protection support for cross-border mergers and acquisitions and international compliance for global companies. Clients come from the technology and telecommunications sectors as well as finance, real estate, pharmaceuticals, medicine and research, and retail. Radlanski's practice focuses on complex and innovative data-heavy projects, often with cross-border aspects, as well as assisting clients in proceedings before supervisory authorities and courts. In a landmark case, he represented telecommunications provider 1&1 in the first judgment rendered by a German court on a GDPR fine, where he secured a reduction of a multimillion-euro fine by more than 90%.
