The use of artificial intelligence and the associated impact on contract law are being examined as well as the impact on consumer protection law.
In the area of company law, new kinds of questions are being researched which have come about as a result of the use of artificial intelligence. In addition, the automation of pro-cess flows in companies is being reviewed.
A further focus of the research is the use of artificial intelligence in the area of banking and capital markets law and in the area of auto-mated payment transactions.
In the area of Production and Business, research is conducted in the areas of German, European and international civil and commercial law, corporate law, competition law and antitrust law (including antitrust procedural law).
