Software development

We provide the legal expertise

In data protection, we secure our clients' software products under data protection law by successfully conceptualising and implementing the privacy by design approach. Consistently and right from the start. In this way, we minimise the risks for our clients and develop a competitive advantage: 100% data protection-compliant.

In addition to data protection, we are competent partners for our clients when it comes to contract law, advising and conceptualising complex IT projects and IT compliance. We draft, revise and review contracts and general terms and conditions for SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, ASP, web hosting, apps, housing, licence agreements and software licensing, to name but a few.

Measuring software productivity by lines of code is like measuring progress on an airplane by how much it weighs.  -  Bill Gates

Liability

Under certain circumstances, software developers can be held liable for damages caused by errors or defects in their software. This may include contract or product liability, depending on the applicable laws and contractual terms.

International aspects

As software can easily be distributed over the Internet, software developers must also consider the international legal aspects, including copyright laws, licence conditions and data protection regulations in different countries.

Licensing

Most software products are distributed under a licence that imposes certain rights and restrictions on users. There are different types of licences, including proprietary licences, open source licences and free licences. It is important to understand the terms of the licence under which the software is used.

Overall, software development law is a complex and constantly evolving area that requires careful attention in order to avoid legal problems and protect the rights of all parties involved.
