Technology
Technology is continually changing the way that businesses and individuals inter-relate. We advise on commercial and legal issues arising out of these changes. Projects we have been involved in include:
- A wide range of computer hardware and software issues, software development, licensing and support, hardware supply and maintenance, consulting, implementation and project management services and international software development consortia;
- Internet-related issues, including web development and hosting, service level agreements, electronic payment systems and IP telephony;
- Trade practices, privacy, consumer protection and competition law issues;
- Resolution of disputes arising out of large ERP implementation projects;
- Taxation issues arising out of technology contracts; and
- General commercial issues including company structuring and funding for new technology companies, company and share sales, executive incentive plans and employment contract issues.
