Volkmar Hinrichsmeyer, LL.M.
Lawyer specialized in Data Law and Legal Automation. Based in Germany with a Dutch and German law degree.
I’m a German legal counsel and lawyer with a Dutch law degree, based in the Münsterland region near the Dutch border. My focus as a lawyer is on data protection law and the broader intersection of law and technology.
I like understanding how things work under the hood, whether it’s a privacy framework, a customer workflow, or the mechanics of a new piece of legal tech.
Certifications aren’t everything, but for those interested: I hold several from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), including CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPT, CIPM, and the Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) designation.
