IT service providers & data centres

Specialised legal advice

for IT service providers and 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.

Legal advice for 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.

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.

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.
