Areas of expertise in the information technology (IT) sector

Contract law incl. E-commerce

We check and analyse the effectiveness and practical enforceability of your contracts and contractual clauses. We evaluate your litigation risks as well as we draft your contracts, general terms, conditions and delivery terms in the IT area. We develop license, leasing and outsourcing agreements, draft your contracts on the internet for you as start-up company or multinational enterprise in the IT sector. We consider the size, structure and the internal processes of your company as well as your legal risk factors, e.g. when drafting contracts relating to IT projects, software licenses, service and maintenance agreements and defining the scope of performance of such agreements.

Intellectual property law and technology law

We advise you in the area of trademark, patent or copyright law as well as source codes and designs. We protect your company against warnings, cease-and-desist declarations or co-existence agreements, misuse or unfair business practices such as misleading advertisements, impediments, software piracy and trademark or domain infringements.

Data protection law

We aim to detect possible problems already before the planning of measures: which risks are data at home and abroad exposed to or which risks may the data entail?

Labour law

We consider your specific labour law questions in the area of IT such as copyright law or intellectual property law, e.g.: Who is entitled to the rights in a software your employee has developed? We assess your possible risk factors prior to the drafting of contracts and formulation of contractual provisions with the respective legal safeguards.
