International legal perspectives

“In my research, I deal with problems that result from, on the one hand, cross-border interactions between people and on the other, from social and technical progress, from a legal perspective. In the age of globalisation and digitalisation, people, information and all kinds of data move around the whole world. Because of this, it is not enough to consider German law alone, an international perspective is also required and is, at the same time, particularly fascinating. All over the world, the law lags behind current developments and German law is not necessarily ahead of others in this respect. I am interested in seeing that particularly weak groups of people, such as children or minorities, are not neglected.”
