After completing his law degree at Ruhr University Bochum, lawyer Andreas Buchholz first spent time abroad in Sydney and Melbourne to deepen his legal and English-language skills. He then completed his legal traineeship at the Regional Court of Bochum, passing the second state law examination before the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf.

Mr Buchholz has been admitted as a lawyer since 2007 and has worked continuously in business-law firms ever since. After only one year as an employed lawyer, he took the step into self-employment in 2008 and has since been a partner in several firms in Düsseldorf and Cologne. Lawyer Buchholz is a founding partner of ITMR Rechtsanwälte | Fachanwälte – law firm for IT law and media law and is still very active in court.

He was also registered in the Proboneo pool until Proboneo gGmbH ceased its activities on 30 June 2017. He has taken on, and continues to take on, pro bono mandates in suitable cases that support a good cause.

Lawyer Buchholz consolidates his expertise by regularly attending further training, including across disciplines.
