Services

One counterpart for privacy, IT law, security, AI and crisis management

A single project, a standing mandate, an interim role or an acute emergency inside your team — you always get senior-level work with no hand-offs and no law-firm ping-pong.

How I work

Three engagement models that fit real teams

You decide how much legal capacity you need and when. I adapt to your project rhythm, not the other way round.

  • 01

    Project-based

    Fixed scope with a defined outcome: a DPIA, EU AI Act readiness, a contract package, a privacy audit or a gap assessment.

    Fixed deliverable · a few days to several weeks

  • 02

    Interim / fractional counsel

    I work embedded in your team — in your tools, your stand-ups, your projects. Parental-leave cover, project peaks, building a privacy or compliance function from scratch.

    1–5 days per week · 3 to 12 months

    Retainer & external officer roles

Why easydatenschutz

Legal that speaks product

I come from the reality of software, data and AI projects. So you don't get memos nobody can implement — you get decisions your team can build on.

Alicja Wilczek

Alicja Wilczek, German attorney and certified privacy & compliance specialist. Since 2018 I have helped companies navigate data protection, IT law, AI compliance and crisis management — pragmatic, solution-oriented and in your language.

  • Tech-savvy and inside the project

    I join sprints, tickets and architecture reviews. Privacy by design happens where the product is actually built.

  • An enabler, not a blocker

    Instead of "not allowed", you get a legally sound path: options, risk assessment and a clear recommendation.

  • Three languages, one standard

    English, German and Polish — for international teams, group headquarters and German authorities alike.

  • One partner across four disciplines

    Privacy, IT security, whistleblowing and AI governance in one consistent framework, with no gaps between advisors.

  • Senior level, no hand-offs

    You always talk to me. No rotating associates, no internal escalation chains.

  • Fast and pragmatic

    A reply within 24 hours on business days, and assessments in days rather than weeks.

FAQ

What to know before we work together

  • How is interim counsel different from a traditional law firm?

    I work embedded in your team, in your tools and rhythms. Instead of isolated opinions, you get practical decisions that can be implemented immediately — no handovers, no back-and-forth.

  • How quickly can you start?

    For urgent incidents I am available within hours. For interim or project mandates, a start within 1–2 weeks is usually possible, depending on current capacity.

  • Do you work on-site or remotely?

    Both. Many mandates run hybrid or fully remote — especially for international teams. For kick-offs, workshops or crisis situations I am also available on-site when needed.

  • What does a retainer or interim mandate cost?

    It depends on scope, duration and responsibilities. Projects are quoted with a fixed scope; interim mandates are usually billed on a daily or half-day basis. I will prepare a tailored option in a short intro call.

  • Which languages do you work in?

    German, English and Polish — written and spoken, including authority correspondence and contract negotiations with international partners.
