About me
Stefan Eder is a lawyer and partner at the commercial law firm Benn-Ibler Rechtsanwälte GmbH.
His legal practice focuses on IT law, cyber security, data protection and compliance, in which he has been advising entrepreneurs, companies and the public sector for 30 years. In his work, he also deals with legal engineering in the context of evaluating large databases for the purpose of obtaining information for legal purposes. In doing so, he draws on the specialist knowledge and technical understanding that he acquired during his studies in business informatics. This enables him to bridge the gap between the two worlds.
He is the editor of the Usancen Legal blog and a blog for cyber security as well as the editior of the Legal Informatics Newsletter. Stefan is reading Legal Tech at the University of Saarbruecken, and Insolvency Law and Restructuring at the Technical University Vienna.
Stefan Eder is also a partner in Cybly GmbH, which operates the LawThek. The LawThek is a freely accessible, multilingual, international legal database in the form of a knowledge graph. Another focus of Cybly GmbH is international research projects and applications on aspects of legal data mining and the use of AI tools in this context. Stefan Eder is also particularly involved in aspects of the automation of legal workflows.
As Co-Chair of the IRIS Legal Informatics Conference and initiator and chair of the “Research Meets Practice platform” platform—which, since 2018, has provided leading researchers in the field of legal informatics with an annual forum for presentations and discussions with academics and practitioners as well as has organized the “Law As Code”-Hackathon — Stefan Eder is committed to bridging research and practice.
