S & P LEGAL

IT, Telecommunications & Media Law

Modern information technologies and telecommunications have become more and more important in the economic life of recent years. For most of the companies, working IT and telecommunications have meanwhile become a matter of economic existence so that legal security and clear regulations are indispensable in this field – in particular for cases of disruptions and financial loss incurring therewith.

On the other hand, the legislator is not able to keep up with the rapid technological development and the new fields of application of known technologies so that there are only few special legal regulations applying for information technologies.

Legal consulting in this field requires not only technical understanding and the observation of technological developments, but also consolidated knowledge and experience in the application of general legal standards to cases related to information technologies.

We can provide you with the required experience and know-how and advise you in all legal questions related to IT law and telecommunications law.

Drafting IT agreements (e.g. agreements on IT projects, agreements on the generation of individual software, the distribution of standard software, the adjustment of standard software (customising), outsourcing agreements etc.) and analysing issues related to the law applying for electronic business operations (Internet presence and web shops, distance contracts including general terms and conditions as well as withdrawal instructions etc.) are part of our daily work.
