IT service providers & data centres

Our dedicated team of IT legal experts ...

... is always keen to keep abreast of the latest case law in the area of contract law and damages litigation and to integrate it into our contractual clauses. For IT service providers, aspects such as licensing, copyrights and the appropriate handling of critical infrastructures are of crucial importance. In addition, they often face challenges relating to telecoms law, particularly if they also provide telecoms services. Our experienced team has the expertise to navigate the complexities of these various legal areas and make them understandable for our clients.

The law in the IT service provider and data centre industry covers a wide range of legal aspects relating to the provision of IT services and the operation of data centres.

Data centres ...

Data centres are at the heart of digitalisation and are therefore increasingly becoming the focus of regulatory and legal requirements. Regardless of whether they are built on the high seas, in countries with cheap electricity or ‘good’ legal frameworks: Customers place high demands on functionality and compliance.

... as critical infrastructure

The drafting of customer and supplier contracts and the monitoring of external audits therefore require particular care in order to ensure that data centre companies are well positioned.

As lawyers, we have specialists in IT law who understand and speak the language of IT professionals. Put us to the test and get in touch.

Data protection and data protection laws

IT service providers and data centres must ensure that they comply with data protection regulations, especially with regard to the storage and processing of sensitive data. This often includes compliance with laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe or comparable laws in other regions.

Contracts and service level agreements

The contracts between IT service providers and their customers are crucial and should include detailed service level agreements that set out expectations in terms of performance, availability, security and other relevant factors.

International aspects

As IT service providers often operate globally, they also have to take into account the legal requirements in different countries, which can pose additional challenges in the area of legal compliance.
