Together with his multi-jurisdictional team, he has assisted several online platforms in preparing for their designation as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

I like providing strategic advice to great companies and helping clients to navigate through the opportunities and risks presented by novel technologies and complex transactions and business models. I translate legal advice into business consequences and business actions. I provide proactive problem-solving, creative strategic thinking and a 360 view on the relevant topic.
