New Mobility & Automotive

Mission Statement

The mobility industry is facing a landmark change, and the challenges in this sector with respect to a sustainable future are especially substantial. CO2 emissions require rethinking, bans on combustion engines are planned, electromobility is gaining ground and all new mobility concepts are being developed. Advancing digitalization offers new opportunities, such as autonomous driving, but also involves risks, such as cyberattacks. Our clients benefit from customized solutions in all of those areas: from the required approval proceedings via the necessary data protection clarifications up to issues of product liability and the protection of technological developments.
