Paul Durac appointed as Associate

Paul Durac has been appointed as Associate as of 1 February 2022.

Focusing on data privacy and commercial agreements Paul will assist Lieke’s customers in various types of matters where data privacy is at the heart of the assignment or plays an important role in the bigger picture.

Prior to Lieke Paul worked as a corporate lawyer in a global energy company. During his assignment Paul familiarized himself with energy sector’s legislation and regulations.

“I am excited to start working in the field of advocacy at Mäkitalo after working as a corporate lawyer. As a corporate lawyer in the energy sector, I have gathered plenty of experience and knowledge from the energy sector’s needs and common practices. I believe with this experience I can assist Lieke’ s customers in challenges brought by the legislation, without forgetting what is crucial to the business and the customer’s own needs.

My responsibilities as data protection officer at the former company have included legal advisement regarding challenges in data privacy matters. How data privacy appears especially in the daily business of the companies in the energy sector has been a key question in my work. I look forward to advising Lieke’ s customers in questions relating to data privacy as part of overall legal advisement.”
