Projects
Sale of a bicycle hire platform

As part of the sale of a globally operating online platform for the hire of bicycles to a competitor, we advised the buyer comprehensively on the preparation and handling of the asset deal. The core issues of the transactions concerned the granting of rights of use to the software solutions that were also sold, the transfer of domains and the assumption of supplier contracts.

Successful joint venture: German start-up in China

We advised a German start-up in the field of sustainable mobility on contract negotiations with a Chinese contractual partner. The client’s product was to be used extensively in major Chinese cities as part of a joint venture. Our advice focussed primarily on corporate and IP law.

Tech-Asset-Deal im Schienennetzinfrastrukturbereich

We advised on the sale of a technology in the field of railway network infrastructure in the form of an asset deal. This primarily involved questions of IP law and software purchase law. This was linked to a subsequent agreement on advisory services by the seller.

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has far-reaching impacts on all areas of life. The European Union (EU) has recognized that an appropriate legal framework is necessary to ensure the responsible use of AI and aims to be a leader in trustworthiness as well as innovation. For this reason, the AI Act has been enacted. The regulation, which has direct effect in the member states, sets clear rules and standards for dealing with AI models, AI systems, and AI content.

Neighbourhood remains a neighbourhood – VG Berlin protects established restaurant district!

28. July 2025
by Tjade Elix & Philipp Schröder-Ringe, LL.M.

In its decision of 8 July 2025, the Berlin Administrative Court granted the main points of the urgent appeal filed by a restaurateur from Kastanienallee in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. The court restored the suspensive effect of the action against the shortening of the closing time and the ban on the provision of outdoor seating. The restaurateur thus preliminarily prevailed against an order by the Pankow district authority that would have severely restricted his business activities in the outdoor area.
