Thank you for visiting German Legal Blog. My name is Roger Geissler, and I am an attorney licensed in California and based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here you will find news and analysis about the latest developments in the legal field in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and how these developments might impact those doing business in not just German-speaking countries but Europe as a whole. While I might tend to focus a bit on privacy and copyright law, I will share any topic that can help you navigate the legal and business environments where German law has an influence.
About the Author
I am a graduate of UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco where I served on the editorial board of the Hastings Law Review. My published law review article investigated the ways in which German privacy law and cultural sensibilities about privacy influenced how Google Street View was rolled out in German.
I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where I studied Greek and Latin languages and literature. While born and raised in the United States, I am a former resident of Berlin and I consider German to be my second language. In my free time I enjoy swimming and running (including completing the Berlin Marathon in 2016 and the Oslo Marathon in 2019), spending time with my kids and wife, and most recently watching German baking shows on Netflix.
Bis bald! / See you soon!
