Diversity plus specialization

IT Law and Data Protection

"Something with computers and definitely something for nerds?" You couldn’t be more wrong! Wherever there is digitalization you are exposed to IT law. FPS’s IT Team advises across a broad spectrum of IT issues including large IT projects (implementation of agile software, outsourcing of IT infrastructure to the cloud, etc.), the implementation of innovative business models and the use of artificial intelligence. Our IT experts also advise on the admissibility of forward-looking online marketing measures, software piracy and the protection of know-how. In addition, the IT team is regularly consulted in relation to corporate transactions and start-ups as in a networked world the essential assets of many organizations are digital.

In order to provide you with the best possible advice, the members of our IT team are not only computer literate and understand technical contexts. In addition to general IT law, they also specialize in data protection, competition, copyright, trademark and domain law.
