Our Tech & Commercial team advices clients across a wide range of industries, sizes and maturity on a broad spectrum of commercial contracts, projects related to technology and intellectual property rights as well as privacy and employment matters. Regardless of industry, all businesses have to adapt to a fast-paced and changing environment where technology and digitalization are integral parts of what every business does. Furthermore, data and intellectual properties often represent the most valuable assets for a company.
We provide expertise in the negotiation and drafting of licences specifically tailored to the protection of technology and the full range of intellectual property rights, and help our clients with drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, such as distribution agreements, outsourcing agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, as well as general terms of use and terms of service. Our team also represents and assists clients with privacy and data security matters and provides advice on intellectual property rights and e.g. open source agreements as part of our due diligence work together with the firm’s M&A team. For several of the firm’s clients we provide day-to-day support in employment related matters such as employment contracts, terminations, incentive programs, management remuneration and competition restriction issues.
Through years of hands-on experience, we have gained a deep knowledge of what we chose to define as Tech & Commercial. With a combination of commercial and technical understanding and legal expertise, we provide clear advice in a changing and emerging market. Many of our clients retain us early as a sounding board and for guidance when developing its business models and business policies.
