Jessica Jacobi’s practice focuses on employment and data privacy. Together with her team, she regularly counsels employers on issues such as layoffs and the required negotiations with works councils, on executive and other compensation schemes, and recently with regard to Covid vaccinations and an increasingly remote workforce. She advises multi-national clients on a wide range of data privacy issues such as the implementation of new IT systems via works council negotiation, data protection impact assessments, employee monitoring, the use of AI at the workplace and dealing with data subject access requests.
