Digital transformation is leading to a rise in malicious use and hacking of personal and private data, and is making it increasingly complex to protect such data.


In this regard, we defend the interests of individuals and legal entities – whether perpetrators or victims – in disputes relating to privacy and personal data, particularly in cases involving breaches of the confidentiality of correspondence, cyber espionage, identity theft and online defamation.
