KREMER LEGAL

What KREMER LEGAL does

KREMER LEGAL is a German law firm boutique specializing in the intersection of technology and law, with core practice areas in IT law, data protection, AI regulation, digital security, and IT-related collective labor law. Founded by Sascha Kremer and headquartered in Mönchengladbach with a second office in Köln, the firm operates as a sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) and is supported by two GmbH subsidiaries: KREMER LEGAL TECH & OPERATIONS GmbH (KLTO) for technology-enabled service delivery, and KREMER DATA & AI MANAGEMENT GmbH for data and AI management services. The firm serves a diversified client base including DAX corporations, SMEs, financial institutions, startups, and church/public institutions, with engagement primarily across the DACH region and EU under GDPR/AI Act frameworks.

The firm employs approximately 25 specialists who combine legal credentials with technical understanding, and operates a partner-and-lawyer-led direct sales model supplemented by thought leadership through an active legal blog, conference participation, publications (including the Formularhandbuch Datenschutzrecht, 4th edition 2025), and a referral network. KREMER LEGAL has productized portions of its expertise through Legal Tech Tools (document generators, digital workflows, surveys) and the KI-Asset-Register, an AI system documentation tool supporting client compliance with the EU AI Act. Multiple 2025–2026 industry awards (Handelsblatt/Best Lawyers, Capital, WirtschaftsWoche, Focus, brand eins) reflect rising market recognition.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees for legal counsel and compliance advisory on a quote-based engagement model; no public revenue figures are disclosed. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary channels, and the firm's brand strategy centers on recognized expertise at the regulatory-technology frontier rather than scale.
