1. IT Law

Information Technology Law (IT Law) is a complex legal field that spans across several branches of law. It includes, among other things, the regulations related to IT and e-commerce services, legal issues arising from the use and application of the internet, and areas related to IT services and data protection.

Whether it’s about software development (packaged, custom, modular, or application), or licensing issues, we will answer your questions and represent your interests.

2. Drafting and Reviewing IT Contracts

Our office's activities cover nearly the entire field of IT law, including the drafting and reviewing of contracts related to IT services. We provide comprehensive consultation to our Clients during the drafting of software development contracts, support agreements, and operation-maintenance contracts.

A key focus of our office's legal activity in the IT sector is the review and drafting of IT project contracts and corporate outsourcing contracts, as well as providing full-scope advice throughout the entire project realization.

3. Data Protection and Data Processing

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) has made compliance mandatory regarding the rules on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

Our office, through its qualified staff and knowledge of related legal fields, can help you, as a Data Controller, navigate the domestic legislation modified by the entry into force of data protection laws, and can advise on the contracts necessarily to be concluded based on these laws.

Thus, we have extensive experience in drafting:

And we provide consultancy during the review of unique contracts such as:

• § Data Processing Agreements concluded with clients,
• § Data Processing Agreements concluded with partners,
• § Service Agreements concluded with server providers.

The size of your business may necessitate the application of a **complex IT policy**, which you can also entrust us to prepare.

If necessary, we provide a **Data Protection Officer service** to our client for a monthly standby fee.

4. Legal Disputes Related to Domain Names

5. Consultation on Software and Licensing Contracts

Our office specializes in providing legal advice concerning the conduct of the license user or the license owner regarding software. We assist our clients in relation to the conduct of the license owner who unilaterally tries to determine the conditions for the use of the software (license) (trusting the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions by the authorized software user), and in relation to the conduct expressed by the software (license) user who carelessly trusts the use of unlicensed software without legal consequences.

Our office is highly focused on the protection of personal rights, as well as copyright and related rights, trademark protection, know-how and trade secret protection, especially concerning information technology products (e.g., software, application, source code), and the protection of confidential information, with a practical approach that is critically important in the business world.

We provide full-scope consultation in almost all areas of intellectual creations, including disputes arising from trademarks (product and company names, logos, slogans), copyrights, and generally from unlawful use/infringement.

To protect intellectual property, we provide high-level expert consultation in selecting the appropriate legal protection tools, navigating the forms of protection, domestic and international protection, extension to EU member states, and licensing matters.

Furthermore, our office provides legal and business consulting services for IT companies. Our clients include IT companies involved in software development, webshop and website operation, and other IT services.

Our office handles out-of-court proceedings, as well as proceedings before domestic ordinary courts, permanent and ad hoc arbitration courts, and provides litigation representation for legal entities, companies without legal personality, in all matters falling within our office's scope of activity.
