By way of an extraordinary drive, in-depth commercial insight and not least the ability to convert complex jurisprudence into practically feasible solutions, Mikkel Friis Rossa has positioned himself as one of the leading lawyers in Denmark in GDPR, digital transformation and intellectual property law (IP).
Mikkel heads Bech-Bruun's IP & Technology department, including Bech-Bruun's data protection team, which is one of the largest and most experienced of its kind in Denmark. Under Mikkel's leadership, the GDPR team performs the role of external Data Protection Officer (DPO) for more organisations than any other Danish advisor.
Mikkel is uniquely experienced designing, coordinating and implementing complex data protection compliance programmes in large, international groups, just as he is highly experienced advising on the legal aspects of digital transformation, including “data-driven growth”. He is a trusted adviser of several leading Danish enterprises in respect of GDPR, NIS2, digitisation and marketing law, rendering advisory services at a strategic, tactical and operational level.
Mikkel's great business understanding and in-depth legal knowledge as well as his straightforward, solution-oriented and pragmatic approach make him a much sought-after adviser and sounding board.
In 2011, Mikkel obtained an LL.M. degree specialising in IPR from the Queen Mary University of London, and in 2013 he was selected as a person of talent in Berlingske's "Talent100". He is also a highly skilled and popular speaker and lecturer of data protection compliance, cybersecurity (NIS2), marketing law and IP strategy.
