IT
Technology is increasingly central to how businesses operate, develop and compete. New technologies, changing business models and an expanding regulatory framework continuously create new legal and commercial considerations. The rapid development of AI is adding another dimension to how businesses procure, implement and use technology.
We advise on IT and technology projects throughout their lifecycle – from procurement and development to implementation, operation and transformation. Our work combines extensive experience in complex IT contracts with an understanding of the regulatory and commercial implications of developments within areas such as cloud services, data, cybersecurity and AI.
Among other things, we assist with:
- procurement of large and complex IT systems, including strategy, contract structure and implementation
- drafting and negotiating IT contracts, including development, licensing, SaaS, cloud, operations and outsourcing agreements
- contract management and amendments to long-term IT contracts
- regulatory requirements relating to technology and digital solutions, including data protection, DORA, NIS2 and cyber security regulation
- contractual and regulatory aspects of new technologies, including AI
- IT and technology matters in transactions and strategic collaborations
- disputes relating to IT projects and technology agreements
We combine legal expertise with an understanding of the technology and the commercial context in which it is used. This enables us to help clients manage risk and make informed decisions as technology and regulation continue to evolve.
