Legally compliant IT projects
A lawyer specialising in IT and internet law from our Munich-based law firm LLP Law will support your company in the legally compliant implementation of IT projects.
IT projects are projects in which new technologies are introduced, developed, updated or improved. They have a clear goal, such as the development of software, the introduction of a new IT infrastructure or the improvement of IT security. For an IT project to be successful, there are often different phases:
Planning
= What are the goals? Which resources- time, money and personnel- are required?
Implementation
= Programming of the software or setup of the IT solution
Testing
= Testing to ensure error-free functionality
Completion
= Transition of the new system or software into ongoing operations.
This classic method follows the waterfall model, in which all steps are carried out one after the other. However, IT projects can also be set up and organised differently. In agile development, tasks are processed in small steps so that you can react flexibly to changes. Both models have advantages and disadvantages.
IT projects are also often very complex and change during implementation. Especially in agile methods, where the project goal is not fixed from the outset, individual and careful contract drafting is important and leaves little room for pre-formulated terms and conditions or contract templates. Without clear rules, misunderstandings and disputes between the parties involved can arise. Our experienced internet law and contract lawyers at LLP Law in Munich can help your company draft contracts for IT projects that are fair to both sides and avoid conflicts.
Our service portfolio includes, among other things:
Legal protection of names, trademarks and personal rights on the internet – lawyer for IT law
The internet offers companies and private individuals enormous opportunities for presentation, communication and marketing. At the same time, this gives rise to legal challenges, particularly in the areas of name law, trademark law, media law, copyright law (UrhG) and personal rights. Digital content can be easily copied by competitors, and names and trademarks can be misused. Personality rights and data protection are endangered by social media and search engines.
It is crucial for companies to protect their brands and content from unauthorised use.
Our lawyers for the cross-disciplinary field of internet law and online law in Munich offer comprehensive advice on your questions regarding domain law and media law. Contact us at any time for an initial assessment so that we can help you protect your personal rights and interests on the internet.
Online shop: Legal issues relating to e-commerce and distance selling contracts
An important area of practice for our lawyers in IT and internet law at LLP Law in Munich covers e-commerce, internet law, telecommunications law and distance selling contracts.
An important aspect of civil law is the special right of withdrawal. In addition, terms and conditions must be correctly integrated and the imprint obligation (privacy policy) under the Telemedia Act must be observed. Data protection law also plays a major role in this cross-cutting area. LLP Law helps your company comply with legal requirements for online shops, digital platforms and online law.
There are also fixed rules for fair competition in online trade. This is where competition law and the UWG (Unfair Competition Act) come into play. Unfair practices such as dynamic price manipulation, fake reviews, subscription traps or illegal surreptitious advertising may violate the UWG. In such cases, competitors may issue warnings under competition law, bring injunctive relief actions or claim damages.
Violations of naming rights, especially domain law or telecommunications law, are also relevant here. An initial legal assessment by a lawyer specialising in internet law is often indispensable:
