Technology & Outsourcing

Practice area
Technology is central in shaping our future and it is therefore paramount to safeguard the legal as well as technological aspects of selling, purchasing and using IT. We tailor our advice to our clients' specific needs vis-à-vis the newest technology.

At a time when technologies such as cloud and artificial intelligence are transforming all industries, it is critical for any business to combine the use of these technologies with solid legal understanding and support, contractual as well as regulatory. Robust and well-thought-out IT contracts play a key role in ensuring that technology investments deliver the expected value and effectively support companies' business goals.

For IT buyers, this applies from the initial planning and selection of technology partners to contract negotiation and project implementation. It is crucial that each phase is managed with careful consideration of technical, commercial and legal aspects. This not only contributes to the success of the project, but also to ensuring compliance and optimal risk management. 

For IT salespeople, it is also important to understand the customer's needs, what is delivered, and the customer's own contribution in this context. 

Our experience is wide-ranging and includes, among other things, special expertise in advising financial companies which often face complex regulatory requirements when outsourcing IT and technology services. Together with technology partners such as RISMA Systems, we have developed innovative solutions that support financial firms in navigating these regulatory landscapes.

By focusing on advice tailored to our clients' unique needs and commercial goals, clients are able to navigate the technology landscape with greater confidence. Legal advice in IT projects is not only about avoiding potential pitfalls, but also about taking full advantage of opportunities so that each technology investment maximizes its value and contributes positively to the client's long-term business strategy.
