Benjamin Docquir

I'm a data privacy and technology partner advising clients on digital regulation, data governance and AI, with a reputation for solving complex legal challenges across sectors and jurisdictions.

I advise clients on the legal and regulatory aspects of digital transformation and disruptive technologies, with a particular focus on data governance, AI, cybersecurity and software-related matters. My practice spans both contentious and non-contentious work, and I support a wide range of clients, from start-ups and scale-ups to global platforms and regulated industry leaders.

I regularly help clients navigate the legal implications of digitalisation, including data sharing, outsourcing, platform regulation and compliance with the fast-evolving EU digital framework. I've built a strong reputation for my cross-disciplinary expertise in IP, data privacy, cybercrime and unfair competition, and I've successfully handled disputes involving copyright, patents and digital assets. I am keen on ensuring the legal analysis builds upon a deep understanding of the technical details of each case.

I've represented companies before the Belgian Data Protection Authority and at the appeals level, offering clear, strategic advice that balances legal risk with commercial opportunity. I've worked extensively with TMC platforms, life sciences companies, and both traditional and innovative players in banking and insurance.

I bring a comprehensive and out-of-the box view to digital regulation, informed by years of hands-on experience and academic engagement. I'm a published author in the field, most recently contributing a substantial chapter on the Law Over Borders Comparative Artificial Intelligence Law Guide.

I speak French, Dutch and English fluently, and I'm committed to helping clients stay ahead in a fast-changing digital landscape.
