Information technology law
Shaping and implementing digitalisation - making IT!
IT law is becoming increasingly important in the course of the ongoing digitalisation of our society and in the economy. Accordingly, the complexity of IT issues and the associated legal questions are also growing.
The special feature of IT law is its diversity. In particular, IT issues under labour law or the requirements for online shop operators are increasing. Furthermore, the implementation of the new law on the sale of goods has already made it necessary to link product liability with software issues, and will do so in the near future. Entrepreneurs are required - also in view of competition law claims - to observe the implementation of all legal requirements.
Moreover, it is not excluded that disputes will ultimately have to be settled in court. ALPMANN FRÖHLICH has been assisting clients in IT-related legal disputes for years.
Thanks to specialised (specialist) lawyers as well as a large international partner network, ALPMANN FRÖHLICH is also able to act in complex cases with national or international references. ALPMANN FRÖHLICH supports its clients throughout the entire process, taking into account the special features of IT law, e.g. agile software development, the concept of defects in software law and the enforcement of and defence against warnings under competition law. ALPMANN FRÖHLICH provides comprehensive advice in particular on the following topics.
Our focus
Our focus is always on the link between technology and law. Only those who accept and address the current challenges are well positioned for the (digital) future. To this end, customised products must also be updated in a legally tailored manner. We understand the language of IT and implement it consistently. We look forward to hearing from you. Together.
