Information Technology
We specialise in helping our clients with the procurement, management and implementation of IT solutions.
As digitisation continues to transform businesses across all industries, it has become increasingly important to have access to lawyers that understands the intricacies of information technology (IT) and digital solutions.
Our experience team is skilled in preparing all types of IT contracts, including those related to outsourcing and the use of cloud services. In addition to contract preparation, we offer support throughout the procurement process, negotiations, and execution. Should issues arise during implementation, our team is available to help navigate any necessary changes.
We have extensive experience in investigating and ensuring compliance with legal requirements that are important for the development, operation and use of digital solutions. Our team has assisted in the preparation and revision of the SSA (Norwegian Standard Contract for IT Procurement), which is increasingly used by private enterprises. We are well-equipped to adapt these contracts for various purposes and have a proven track record of successful implementation.
We understand that the rules on the processing of personal data and privacy protection are particularly relevant in connection with the conclusion of IT contracts and the implementation of IT projects. Read more about our privacy practice here
