Complex IT projects require careful planning. This also includes negotiating the underlying agreements (project contract, licence and support agreements, service level agreements etc.). These agreements need to address typical project risks. Negotiating complex IT project contracts requires experience and expertise. We are happy to support you throughout the process.
Legal project support is recommended for larger-scale IT projects, for example in connection with change requests, acceptance procedures, payments or initial difficulties in cooperation. You will benefit from our many years of experience working on well over 100 IT projects.
IT projects have always been relatively highly susceptible to crises. When approaching crisis situations, we begin by assessing your initial situation, then work together with you to develop a strategy that best protects your interests. Generally speaking, keeping disputes out of court is a key objective in these cases. If, however, it comes to that, we possess many years of experience and expertise in legally enforcing your claims in IT disputes including dealing with court-appointed experts.
In May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force throughout Europe containing increased threats of sanctions, as well as some significant deviations from previous legislation. We advise our clients on implementing changes necessary due to the GDPR regarding their business processes, standard documents and internal documentation.
Data-driven business models are becoming increasingly important. We take particular pleasure in advising on innovative business models with apps, mobile services, telematics solutions & Co. Alongside innovative contract models, we also take over the data protection-compliant design for you.
