As more and more business is done electronically and as new technology has become available, having the best possible IT systems in place is important. Therefore taking sound legal advice at the outset of major IT and internet projects is critical as it will underpin the success of these projects and ultimately that of the business. We can advise both users and suppliers. Where we advise users on Procurement and Outsourcing projects we work to gain in-depth knowledge of their objectives. It lets us structure and negotiate the supply contract effectively – a key factor in the project’s success.
For suppliers, our understanding of the sector means we can provide advice on everything that is critical to them, from Protecting IP rights in their technology to Customer Contracts and other critical issues throughout the corporate life cycle. Our expertise in Data Protection translates into policies and strategies that maximise the data’s value to a business whilst reducing the risk of regulatory sanction. If something goes wrong, we can help you manage the consequences of the security breach or other problem.
