Technology, IP & Data Privacy

We advise digital businesses on software and IP ownership, licensing, platform terms, data use, privacy and cross-border product launches.

Where exposure arises

Digital legal risk appears at the joins between product layers

Ownership, commercial terms, data and launch decisions should remain consistent as the product changes.

Code, content, trade marks, licences and contributor arrangements.

Customer, supplier, platform, distribution and investment contracts.

Processing roles, transfers, product changes, new markets and scale.

Function, users, markets, business model and technical dependencies.

Data roles, flows, notices, permissions, transfers and security duties.

Founders, employees, contractors, suppliers, platforms and customers.

Local rules, consumer issues, advertising and sector-specific requirements.
