We can help ensure that (as a customer of IT) your IT supply, support and maintenance contracts properly protect your interests, and that you know what you are buying, what it will cost, when you will receive it and what you can do if things go wrong. We can help ensure that (as a supplier of IT) your rights and obligations as such are clearly set out.
We advise on the full range of IT and e-commerce issues facing businesses including computer contracts, installation agreements, e-commerce and trading online, e-mail and internet policies, IT disputes, internet and application service provision agreements, software and hardware maintenance agreements, software development and acquisition agreements, turn key and outsourcing agreements, website development agreements, hosting, advertising, sponsorship and hyperlinking agreements, and website legal compliance advice.
We can help resolve disputes relating to the supply and use of technology and can provide legal advice and practical assistance on issues arising from technology implementation, IP infringement, e-mail and web site abuse and web site compliance. We also provide advice on risk management and the nature and extent of IT professional and digital risks insurance cover.
Speed is often vital if your rights are not to be permanently impaired. We have the structures in place to take immediate steps to seek injunctive or other relief, but that is not the only way of solving the problem. Whether through the issuing of court proceedings or via alternative methods of negotiation, mediation or arbitration, we'll help you ensure that your intellectual property rights remain yours.
Our aim is to avoid, contain and resolve disputes. Many issues relating to hardware and software are essentially about quality, fitness for purpose and reliability where expert legal advice is required
