IT and technology contracts
Our experienced team of solicitors provides support and advice to values-driven businesses on all aspects of IT and tech contracts.
Since the rise in technology and our increased use of computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, wearable technology, the internet and social media, many of us have become more aware of the value of data and the need to retain appropriate control of it, use it effectively and protect it.
Technology plays a vital role in our everyday lives, both personally and in business which is why it is imperative that appropriate measures are taken to protect data. Our specialist information and communications technology (ICT) lawyers work in partnership with commercial businesses to provide advice and support on the law and practice relating to ICT.
At Anthony Collins Solicitors our dedicated ICT team uses its balance of ICT expertise coupled with the knowledge of the commercial and legal environment commercial businesses operate in, making us well placed to assist social business organisations with any ICT issues.
We understand that, whilst investment in ICT services and goods can vary from each organisation and can range from thousands of pounds to over a million pounds, the value of the overall contract does not always reflect the potential harm to the customer if those services do not work as expected.
We therefore seek to tailor our advice, and costs for that advice, to the significance of the service to you balanced against your budget.
