Arne Trautmann

I have over 20 years of professional experience as a corporate lawyer in law firms and in the corporate sector (semiconductor industry). Having lived and worked in four countries on three continents, I have gained experience in different cultures. I specialise in technology and intellectual property, where I advise, prepare and negotiate contracts and resolve disputes when necessary.

You can also book me as a speaker or trainer. My clients include both established and newly founded companies.

When I’m not helping my clients achieve their goals, I can be found writing about highly entertaining legal topics, hiking, drumming, photography, boxing, diving and travelling. I programme the 6502 in assembler.
