IT

The team drafts, reviews, advises on and negotiates all forms of IT agreements, such as: software licensing, software rental, software-as-a-service, reseller, bespoke development, project implementation, consultancy, support & maintenance, escrow, IT outsourcing and other IT services agreements. Situations may involve business-to-business, business-to-consumer or public procurement. In all aspects of the advice, we seek to provide legal advice in a practical commercial context, whilst understanding the IT industry. We also advise on software compliance audits and implementation of IT policies (pulling in experts from our employment team where necessary). We seek to provide certainty, minimise risk and reduce your exposure. Our IT dispute resolution specialists also advise if the relationship between the contracting parties goes sour. Our IT expertise involves data management, including data protection, freedom of information and encryption advice.
