Firm

A law firm for a new legal reality.

LexRights was founded with a clear mission: give consumers and businesses across Europe access to specialized legal protection in the digital space — at eye level with the major platforms. With German bar admissions in Berlin and New York Bar counsel on the team, we run cross-border digital-rights mandates as one matter, not two.

Our principles

Specialization

We don't do generic IT law. Our mandates focus consistently on digital rights: platforms, DSA, GDPR, digital content.

Depth over breadth

Dedicated deep analysis per platform and legal topic. We know the ToS, the anti-cheat systems, the complaint paths and the relevant case law.

EU-wide single source

Consumer's home venue under Brussels Ia. We represent you across DACH and the EU in German and English - no correspondent lawyer surcharge.

Digital-first

Video call, beA, secure online file. Mandates handled fully digitally. No office visits required.

Transparent

Clear fee agreement before engagement. Direct billing with legal-expenses insurance. No hidden costs.

Our team

Complementary specialization. Double depth in platform law and data protection.
