Information Technology Law

At the centre of nearly every business are computer systems of varying complexity. Most organisations are completely dependent upon their IT equipment and staff for the successful management of their business; from daily administrative functions to highly complex Voice over IP. Many businesses have a web presence of some sort. Increasingly businesses are using their website for on-line purchasing and procurement, not simply to promote their goods and services. There is growth in the use of Extranets and Intranets to provide clients with personalised, on-line, 24/7 services.

More and more legislation is being brought in to regulate the Internet particularly in terms of online sales and marketing. Many businesses are unaware of the effect these regulations have on their own business. We aim to guide you through all legal aspects of launching your website and maintaining it in accordance with the ever changing law in this area.

The value of contracts which must be entered into with IT suppliers is often considerable and requires expert advice. We are involved on a daily basis in negotiating and drafting all types of computer contracts from complex software development and marketing agreements to simple software licences. We also have experience of handling IT related disputes.

We keep a database of computer specialists providing expert witness services and have the means to ensure that an experienced team is put together to handle this complex field of litigation.

We also advise on aspects of use of data within businesses, particularly under the Data Protection Act in relation to and staff policies.
