Hogan Lovells advises Dataguard on financing round with financial investor One Peak

Press releases | 08 April 2020

Led by Munich partner Dr. Volker Geyrhalter, Hogan Lovells advised Dataguard on its financing round with One Peak.

Compliance with data protection regulations poses a particular challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Munich-based startup Dataguard addresses precisely this issue and supports its clients with a software platform for data processing ("privacy-as-a-service"). One Peak Partners is investing USD 20 million in the company as part of this transaction. Dataguard plans to use the capital now acquired to finance its further growth. 

Hogan Lovells advised Dataguard on all legal issues and the negotiations. Dataguard was founded in 2017 and currently employs 120 people at its headquarters in Munich.
