Biography
Mark Jansen became a lawyer in 2007 and specialised in the areas of IT and privacy law. Mark's practice includes providing guidance on contracting for large and small IT projects, advising and litigating in the event of failed automations and supporting clients with all kinds of issues surrounding privacy law. He assists both customers and suppliers, though his main focus is on IT systems customers. Mark regularly gives lectures on IT and privacy law and writes about these subjects on websites and in professional journals.
Brass band music is one of Mark's main hobbies. He plays the trombone in two orchestras and (occasionally) in other bands. Mark is also the chairman of the Jubal musical society in Varsseveld.
