IT law
We think IT law is the most challenging area of expertise there is! Because of continuous technological developments, IT law is innovative and very much alive. In our every day practice we advise on how to deal with automation projects gone wrong and attacks on IT systems by hackers, and on drafting different types of IT contracts plus negotiating about them, amongst these contracts on delivering or transferring software and intellectual property, licence terms, service level agreements, migration agreements and outsourcing agreements. If we can’t settle and are forced to litigate, we fight to win. We are proud of all the judgments that have been rendered in favour of our clients. Apart form that, there are lots of issues to keep us busy. How to deal with, for example, the duty of care that an IT supplier has according to case law? How to mitigate risks in contract without losing sight of the commercial interest? What to arrange for when you deliver third party software? What to keep in mind when outsourcing or delivering IT management? How to protect the intellectual property rights of the enterprise? In other words, a multifaceted practice in a constant flux. We would gladly help you with all your questions on IT law. Please contact one of our IT attorneys-at-law for more information.
