IT & Outsourcing

Our experts provide legal support for the cloudification of your systems, applications and data ("Anything as a Service"). With regard to multi-cloud/multi-supplier strategies and cloud competence centres, we focus on contractual governance, reporting and monitoring measures as well as compliance and security requirements.

You can rely on our expertise when setting up, upgrading or expanding your data centre. We draft and negotiate contracts for hosting, maintenance and managed services and assist you during tender procedures.

IT compliance is still uncharted territory for many companies, as the Noerr Digital Compliance study showed. Nevertheless, it is becoming increasingly important to minimise and mitigate risks and prevent damage with target-oriented and needs-based IT compliance measures. Take advantage of our experience in successfully advising on many compliance projects and let us design a future-proof IT compliance management system for your company.

Only 27% of all software projects are successful: the complexity of software projects leads to a high potential for conflict. With our powerful team and many years of experience in IT litigation, we are able to anticipate conflicts and use our strong negotiation skills to resolve them out of court. We are familiar with all settlement instruments, such as mediation, conciliation and arbitration. If a court trial is unavoidable, we will represent you throughout all stages of the proceedings.

When implementing your IT project, you can rely on the profound experience of our consultants, who will help you align all of your innovative ideas with the legal frameworks. You can rely on our expertise and experience, especially when it comes to drafting individual contracts and general terms and conditions or navigating data protection issues, especially for new business models.

Companies need to take precautions to avoid hacks and data leaks, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure (CRITIS). We use our knowledge and experience to help you assess the cyber security and CRITIS requirements that apply to your business.

We handle your contract award procedures in the areas of digitalisation and IT. Our legal advisors move confidently from strategic planning to the drafting of specifications and negotiation of contracts – especially in complex and highly regulated projects. If you want to submit an offer as an IT service provider in public procurement procedures, we will ensure that you submit a legally compliant bid.

IT law is highly flexible and legally versatile: almost every provision can be individually tailored to fit your business model. We are happy to use our creativity, detailed knowledge and many years of experience for your benefit, whether at the contract drafting and review stages or during negotiations.

Leveraging our decades of experience in outsourcing consulting, we can help you successfully implement your project, regardless of the size and complexity or legal framework of your planned venture, from initial outsourcing to next (2nd/3rd) generation outsourcing contracts.

The right to use software depends on many different conditions that are not always easy to keep track of. We are happy to use our detailed knowledge and experience to develop solution-oriented licensing models or advise you on licensing problems, especially with regard to open source software. We have particular expertise in defending against unwarranted audits by software manufacturers. Our focus is on checking whether your company is in compliance with the often complex licensing requirements.
