Whether you are a provider or user, we advise you on all your IT, telecoms, patent, technology, and data protection law matters. We are familiar with the relevant legal issues in cross-border cases and participate in formal and informal negotiations with supervisory authorities – maintaining your anonymity if desired – and represent clients in formal proceedings.
Our many years of experience mean we can advise on the planning and implementation of even complex IT procurement projects. Our conflict resolution approach is pragmatic, and we structure the legal framework. Where necessary, we represent you before courts and in arbitration proceedings.
Agreements concerning specialised software development, system integration and infrastructure, structuring software distribution models and software licence management are core elements of our advisory services. Further focuses lie in e-commerce and m-commerce, and the competition, trademark, copyright, and liability law issues related to internet shops, platforms, and other online offers.
We advise on the opportunities, risks, and legal issues of cloud computing, social media data and big data, and the creation and distribution of apps for smartphones and tablets.
Thanks to our work for clients in the telecommunications sector, we have vast experience with structuring and implementing complex telecoms projects. Our team is frequently involved during the planning phase to ensure new business models comply with telecoms law requirements.
In addition, we draft legally compliant agreements and terms and conditions of business for providers to use with customers and users of telecoms or related services.
Drafting licencing agreements for content, such as films, apps, music, and games for mobile, is an essential element of our practice.
We are committed to helping you in regulatory and licencing proceedings, tender proceedings, antitrust investigations, and proceedings for the misuse of phone numbers. Our experience with transactions involving telecoms infrastructure, particularly mobile communications, deserves highlighting.
For success, business processes must comply with data protection laws. We create the framework for data transfer within your group and internationally and assist with internal investigations in compliance matters. In the case of hacker attacks or data theft, we aim to protect affected parties and your company’s reputation against damage.
Our advice covers IT compliance, data protection and IT security.
