Philip Radlanski is a Local Partner in the IP & Technology Practice Group. He advises clients ranging from early-stage start-ups to large corporations on matters relating to artificial intelligence (AI), data privacy, and cybersecurity. His work focuses on complex and innovative data-heavy AI projects, often with cross-border aspects. He also assists with addressing cybersecurity issues, including data breach incident management and response. He gained strong recognition throughout Europe for his representation in the first German trial against a GDPR fine, in which he was able to achieve a reduction of the multimillion-euro fine by more than 90 percent.

As a driving force behind the firm’s AI practice in Germany, he guides companies through the complex and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape surrounding artificial intelligence — from the EU AI Act and sector-specific requirements to the intersection with data protection and intellectual property law.

With a strong understanding of the technical underpinnings of AI and a practical, business-oriented mindset, Philip is regularly sought after by multinational companies, technology providers, and start-ups developing or deploying AI systems. He advises on all aspects of AI governance — from risk assessments and compliance strategies to drafting internal policies and representing clients before regulatory bodies. Philip also works closely with in-house legal, compliance, and technical teams to promote effective AI oversight, foster privacy-by-design, and drive responsible, future-proof adoption of transformative technologies.
