Dr. Martin Pflueger

Martin is recognized for having a deep understanding of the expectations and legal challenges clients are facing in connection with complex technology or outsourcing projects, the implementation of business processes in the field of Internet and e-commerce matters, or the handling of personal data. He regularly advises clients on IT/IP related aspects in various commercial and corporate transactions. Martin's privacy practice covers all aspects of European and German data protection law, including the coordination of multi-jurisdictional projects on European and international level – whether you are looking at managing your cross-border transfers of personal data (including implementing Binding Corporate Rules) or at dealing with the particularities for the processing of health data, whether you need assistance with the drafting of privacy policies or data transfer agreements, or whether you seek advice on topics such as AI, Big Data, Connected Cars, the Internet of Things or on general data protection compliance issues, including the coordination of multi-jurisdictional projects. He regulary represents companies in data protection law proceedings with the authorities or German courts, including (mass) claims for damages.

Martin studied law in Munich and spent parts of his legal training in Sydney. While working as a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in Munich, he obtained a doctorate degree for his dissertation on the topic of international protection against unfair competition.
