GDPR

Hana Schubertová

I specialise in GDPR because I realise that in today's digital world, organisations and businesses need to collect, analyse and use the different types of data available online for their development. However, I also believe that every individual should be able to influence what digital alter egos are created about them from their data. It fulfils me to look after this for our clients.

I do not like information technology very much (because of the increasing dependence of everything and everyone on IT), I do not spend time playing (including gambling) games, and regulation, or its smoothest possible management (including personal data protection), interests me "only" as a legal phenomenon. However, I do believe strongly in the cultivating role of legal communities of states, like the EU, even though - or because - it is just pouring those regulation regimes out of all almost three dozen sleeves (because they are always backed by Member States and their governments).

In many of the activities I come across, I like structure, logic and (almost mathematical) precision. These attributes are characteristic of engineering fields and technologies I grew up in close proximity to, and which continue to fascinate me to this day. It is not only for these reasons that I specialise in technology and data law. I particularly use this approach when drafting software and ICT-related contracts. Sometimes I am just a little envious of programmers that a contract, unlike source code, cannot be initiated through a compiler to detect error messages, but often only through litigation between the parties. I am no less interested in uncovering comprehensive data flows in the context of personal data processing, setting up business relationships in the context of developing technology solutions or structuring more complex transactions, and in the field of M&A. I then like to tailor my approach to suit global corporations as well as technology startups and venture capitalists.

From a young age, I had a natural sense for justice, which was deepened by my childhood superhero, Batman. As time went on, I realised that justice is not just about catching bad guys and criminal trials. With the development of modern technology, I have become more aware and appreciative of privacy (not just my own) and concerned about protecting and respecting it. Perhaps this is why I now enjoy providing legal services in the areas of data protection, cybersecurity and contract law, where I appreciate the variety and unique solutions for each client. When I'm not practicing law, I'm probably playing guitar or exercising.

Nikita Fesyukov

All my life I have aspired to a career in journalism, but my father, brought up in hard-line socialist Russia, did not recognise any other profession than lawyer, doctor or engineer (ironically, he himself does not work in any of these fields). In the course of my studies, I jumped from one legal practice to another - constitutional law, international law, sports law - but nothing awakened a sense of purpose in me. But one day I thought, why not combine my natural curiosity and interest in new technologies with my future career path? And so it was that I found myself, a little bit by chance, at H&P surrounded by the best of the best. If I'm not working on comprehensive analyses for our clients, I'm probably watching AC Milan games, fighting with my cat, travelling to exotic paradises with my amazing girlfriend, or watching films or TV shows with a minimum rating of 80% on ČSFD.

Already when I first read Vojtěch Zamarovský's History Written by Rome in one summer day at a young age, it was clear to me that I wanted to pursue history professionally. After the Greek miracle, philosophy and other social sciences joined in. But being a smart child, I quickly found out that the only one of the social sciences that would support me and allow me to pursue the other areas in an amateur way (books are terribly expensive) was law. So now I'm a lawyer specialising mainly in the areas of intellectual property, drones, IT, gambling, business contracts, personal data and Internet law in general. This gives me a good excuse to be an expert in everything and nothing, because of course everyone understands that I can't focus on one area when I spend so much time becoming an expert in a completely different area of law. But don't tell anyone.
