IT law in your business
Software is bought, leased or custom-built. Tools are introduced, service providers brought on board, data exchanged. These all come with a significant body of legal questions lurking in the background: contracts that do not deliver what was promised, usage rights that nobody clarified, liability issues that only surface when a dispute arises. IT law ensures that digital projects are as sound legally as they are technically.
The scope of IT law
IT law cuts across multiple disciplines. It brings together contract law, copyright law, data protection law, competition law and, increasingly, AI regulation. Anyone running IT projects or building digital business models will inevitably encounter it.
How I can help
Software, licence and maintenance agreements, SaaS and IT outsourcing contracts, development agreements, service-level agreements: I review, draft and negotiate contracts to minimise your legal and commercial exposure.
Tool implementations, data processing agreements, international data transfers, data protection impact assessments: where IT and data protection intersect, you get comprehensive advice from a single source.
Software copyright, licensing models, open-source compliance, usage rights in digital content: I establish who owns what and what may be done with it.
For online services, platforms, apps and digital products: I draft legally sound terms and conditions that fit your business model.
When an IT project goes off the rails, you need someone who understands both the technical background and the legal position. I get involved from the outset and help resolve conflicts before they escalate.
Engagement models
Sometimes things move fast: a contract needs a quick review, a legal assessment is needed at short notice, or there is a letter from an authority. I am available for standalone instructions without lengthy lead times.
One-offYou have a specific objective — a software rollout, a change of provider, a new contract — and I support you legally throughout: from planning and contract drafting to completion. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote.
