3. For what purpose do we process personal data?
As a rule, we process your personal data to support our clients and to offer legal services in both advisory and contentious matters.

We may also process your personal data to maintain our relationship with you by:

This means we may retain your data during the applicable limitation periods or whenever needed to meet legal or regulatory requirements.
Personal data processing will end when:
• The purpose of the collection has been fulfilled and/or the data is no longer needed or pertinent;
• The Data Subject requests the cessation of processing and deletion of the data; and
