Wilhelm is highly skilled in navigating the complex legal landscape of intellectual property, technology privacy, and general commercial law. With a strong background in the respective fields, he is equipped to provide comprehensive legal counsel to clients seeking to protect their valuable assets and sensitive information and to comply with complex regulation.

Wilhelm's experience includes advising clients on a wide range of issues from copyright, patent, and trademark infringements to GDPR and other data privacy issues. He has a deep understanding of the legal frameworks that govern these areas, and he is well-versed in the latest developments and trends.

In addition to his legal expertise, Wilhelm is also a strong communicator and collaborator. He works closely with clients to understand their needs and goals and to develop tailored legal strategies to meet them. Whether negotiating contracts or advising on compliance issues, he is committed to delivering the highest level of service and achieving the best possible outcomes for the clients.
