Lisa-Marie Schuchardt

A passion for film and the vision of becoming a director marked the beginning of my journey. However, an internship revealed my desire to pursue a path where my tech-savvy, structured thinking, and highly organized skill set could be fully utilized. This led me to study law, specializing in media and intellectual property law. Now, I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to combine my passions and stay connected to the creative world.

As a lawyer, I thrive on collaboration, so it’s fitting that collaboration is at the core of my role at NEON. My colleagues are always happy to pass on every data protection, intellectual property, or IT and tech law problem to me, and I enjoy seeing their expressions change from disbelief to genuine interest when I get passionate about these topics —though they remain particularly astonished by my special affinity for data protection law.

My approach to law is marked by my genuine enthusiasm for technology and a practical mindset. With a focus on empowering my clients while striking the perfect balance between legal regulations and their business needs, I’m dedicated to finding the best solutions—whether I’m working remotely or at the office with classical music in my ears and an iced coffee in hand!

Before becoming a lawyer, I had the opportunity to learn how to lead confidently and handle challenges creatively from my experience as a fitness trainer and sports camp manager. Just picture this: a water pipe bursts at a summer sports camp with 50 kids right after brunch, with no clean dishes, 30 degrees under the sun, everyone sweating buckets, and a limited supply of bottled water! These roles taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure and how to quickly find creative solutions to unimaginable problems. I use these creative problem-solving skills every day in my legal practice.
