Challenges

Common pitfalls in IT law

  1. Legally compliant IT contracts
    Contracts must comply with applicable law, accurately reflect the product and offer economic advantages without placing customers or partners at an unreasonable disadvantage.
  2. Regulations at a glance
    In addition to national law, IT products must comply with European regulations such as the AI Act, Data Act and GDPR.
  3. Technical requirements
    Clear rules are needed on data location, responsibilities, availability, and exit options for cloud, SaaS, and platform models.
  4. Licences and open source
    The licensing model and open-source obligations must fit the business model and be legally compliant.
  5. Data use and transfer
    It must be clarified which data can be used, transferred or processed for AI training, and for what purpose.
