Robert Taylor
Our company, based in Ohio but with European operations, faced a significant data security incident involving customer information. We needed counsel who understood both the technical aspects and the cross-jurisdictional legal landscape, particularly the GDPR. Engaging Markus Klinger at Heuking was an excellent decision. His recognition in Data Security and Privacy Law was immediately evident. He guided our internal team through the forensic investigation, notification procedures, and regulatory communications with German authorities with remarkable clarity. His dual expertise in IP law was also invaluable as we assessed potential impacts on our proprietary systems. While his strategic advice was worth the investment, the billing structure for our multi-week engagement felt slightly opaque at times, and coordinating calls across the time zone to Columbus sometimes led to minor delays in non-urgent email replies. That said, his calm, authoritative approach during a crisis was exactly what we needed. We emerged with our reputation intact and a much stronger compliance framework, thanks largely to his work.
