IT & Data
Grasping the intangible
What is involved?
IT law involves dealing with invisibles and intangibles. Whether you own an e-commerce website or need advice about installing new software, we’ll help you protect the real value of your systems – your data. You may need advice on website design, hosting, support or maintenance. Or you may need information about the licensing and distribution of your software (or even whether it will perform on a certain platform).
Our lawyers can help with a full spectrum of IT matters such as online services, outsourcing, framework agreements, and Data Protection and Freedom of Information. We understand that you want the best solutions for your money, without feeling swamped in a mixture of both legal and IT jargon. Call us now to see how we can help you.
