Technical understanding and economic vision
Especially in an increasingly digitalized world, companies, entrepreneurs, managing directors, IT managers and in-house lawyers are increasingly being targeted by investigating authorities. In such situations, it is not only legal expertise that counts, but also a deep understanding of technical contexts and economic processes.
Attorney Scharrmann combines all three aspects and therefore offers specialized criminal defense - targeted, discreet and practical - especially in the case of digital or business-related accusations such as
- Cybercrime & IT criminal law: hacking, ransomware, data modification, computer sabotage, § 202a StGB ff.
- Criminal data protection law: GDPR violations, fines, data breaches
- Trademark & copyright criminal law: product piracy, platform liability, file sharing
- Criminal competition law & know-how protection: betrayal of secrets or data theft
- Commercial criminal law & compliance: corruption, embezzlement, tax evasion, internal investigations
- Emergency advice in the event of cyber attacks: Crisis management, communication with investigating authorities, coordination with IT forensics.
Defense with strategy, experience and a sense of proportion
