My areas of expertise
IT Law
Information technology law (“IT law”) concerns the large area of software, hardware and data processing, which is developing and changing faster than almost any other area. It is therefore easy to lose track of things. We offer you sound advice and support you in all legal matters relating to your IT, including contract review and drafting, licenses, hosting and, last but not least, cybersecurity, to ensure that your IT business practices are legally sound and protected against harmful interference.
Data protection
We offer comprehensive legal advice in the area of data protection to ensure that your practices comply with applicable data protection laws. Our services include drafting customized data protection policies, monitoring and auditing data processing activities and ensuring full compliance with all relevant data protection regulations.
Industrial Property Rights
Intellectual property law is used whenever you need to protect your intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks and copyrights, and protect it from damage caused by unfair competition. We support you with tailor-made legal structuring (e.g. trademark searches and registrations, structuring and obtaining licenses and rights of use) as well as with the enforcement of or defence against claims for compensation in the event of infringement.
More about me
“Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don’t think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.” – Bill Gates
It became clear years ago that technology and companies are inextricably linked. My aim is therefore to provide legal advice with a view to technological progress. As part of this, I advise my clients in all areas of IT law and contract drafting. In doing so, I combine my specialist legal knowledge with my understanding of IT to offer my clients modern legal advice in the fast-paced world of IT law. It is important to me to work on an equal footing in order to ensure that both sides have a clear understanding of the issues and that no questions are left unanswered.
Moritz Menker in person
I grew up in northern Germany and now enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Black Forest. In my free time, I enjoy programming and cooking.
Career
I completed my studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, specializing in commercial criminal law. I then completed my legal clerkship at the Regional Court of Karlsruhe, where I incorporated my enthusiasm for IT into my work by choosing to specialize in IT law.
I got to know the law firm Bartsch Rechtsanwälte during my legal clerkship and also gained further work experience as a research assistant. Due to the excellent cooperation within the law firm, I wanted to remain part of the team after my legal clerkship. I have been working at Bartsch Rechtsanwälte as a lawyer specializing in IT law since August 2025.
