We are delighted to announce that our founder will be speaking at this year’s European Law Institute Conference.
The panel talk we are part of is titled: Succession of Digital Assets, Data and other Digital Remains (Grosser Festsaal)
The panel will ask and explore inherits our digital lives after we are gone?
At the 2025 ELI Annual Conference, that runs from 22–24 September 2025, leading voices will examine how the law responds to the posthumous management of personal data, digital assets, and online identity.
