New technologies

Digital reality is by no means a new phenomenon, and the use of IT solutions in business is now the norm. The term ‘new technology law’ encompasses everything relating to operations in the digital world and the use of software, robotics or AI.

MJH’s lawyers advise clients on the implementation of IT or robotic solutions, audit an organisation’s compliance with the scope of its licences, and assess the impact of using AI or open-source solutions. We support providers of new technology solutions in ensuring legal compliance and establishing operating procedures that minimise the risk of legal liability.

We monitor legislative changes affecting the sector (the DSA, GDPR and the AI Act) and support clients in appropriately incorporating these regulations into their operations, whilst remaining immune to the manipulation of buzzwords or consulting trends.

Typical assignments in the field of new technology law include:

• drafting and negotiating contracts for the implementation, maintenance or development of IT or robotic systems
• drafting and negotiating licence agreements
• conducting compliance audits against existing licences
• assessing the implications of using AI or open-source solutions
• representing clients in disputes concerning the use of IT tools
