IT Contracts & Data Privacy

Advice on technology contracts, software-as-a-service arrangements, website documentation and data privacy.

Overview

Our team advises clients on data protection strategies, compliance, contract drafting, due diligence, cybersecurity and data usage. Our work includes advice for IoT and AI businesses and on the data-protection requirements relevant to their operations.

We also advise on software, SaaS and IT contracts, website documentation and privacy-related matters. We assist technology providers and businesses purchasing or operating technology services, considering the actual service and the responsibilities of its participants.

01 / Scope of Work

Technology and SaaS agreements

We draft, review and negotiate agreements for technology and software-as-a-service arrangements. Instructions may cover the commercial terms, the responsibilities of the provider and customer, and provisions addressing the service and its use. We consider related intellectual-property and data terms together so that the documents do not record inconsistent obligations.

02 / Scope of Work

Website and customer-facing documents

The practice includes website terms and conditions, online-shopping terms and privacy policies. We review the business model, the intended users and the transactions or interactions those documents are meant to address. The work may require information from the client's operational and technical teams to ensure that the description of the service is accurate.

03 / Scope of Work

Data protection and cybersecurity policies

We advise on data-protection strategies, agreements and privacy documentation within the engagement. The firm's profile also includes cybersecurity-policy advice. Legal work can identify and document obligations and responsibilities, but it should not be confused with a technical security audit or a guarantee that systems will be free from unauthorised access.

Information for an Initial Enquiry

Please outline the matter and the advice required. The following information can help us assess the proposed scope:

  • Service or product overview
  • Contracting parties and data-processing context

Please do not send confidential documents with an initial enquiry. We confirm conflict checks, scope and secure-sharing arrangements before reviewing detailed materials.

Questions

Can the firm review existing technology terms?

Yes. The engagement may cover an existing agreement or a new set of documents. Please identify the service, your role and the principal issue requiring review before sharing confidential terms.

Does a privacy-policy review include testing the website or systems?

A legal review and a technical assessment are different exercises. The scope should identify what operational information will be provided and whether separate technical or security advisers are required.
