Philip Radlanski is a Local Partner in the IP & Technology Practice Group. He advises clients ranging from early-stage start-ups to large corporations on privacy and cybersecurity issues. His work focuses on complex and innovative data-heavy projects, often with cross-border aspects. He also assists with addressing cybersecurity issues, including data breach incident management and response. He gained strong recognition throughout Europe for his representation in the first German trial against a GDPR fine, in which he was able to achieve a reduction of the multimillion-euro fine by more than 90 percent.

Philip is known for his pragmatic approach, which he was able to further refine through several months of secondments to the legal departments of a leading German internet service provider and an internationally operating online marketplace for food delivery. A further one-year secondment to the Global Privacy & Data Security Group of an international law firm in New York shaped Philip’s understanding of the U.S. market and U.S. clients.

Prior to practicing as an attorney, Philip worked as a research assistant at the University of Regensburg, Germany, and as a visiting tutor at King’s College London, UK. He also worked with the German Federal Film Board, the cybercrime division of the Berlin District Attorney’s Office, and for different international law firms in Berlin, New York, and Sydney.

He is a member of the German Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property and Copyright (GRUR), the International Technology Law Association (ITechLaw), and the Bauhaus Archive.
