Legal services for the IT sector Warsaw
We live in a time when technological progress is extremely fast and the time between the emergence of a new solution and its commercialisation is quite short. Since the advent of the personal computer and the Internet, all aspects of daily life have changed – the way we work, the way we entertain ourselves or the way we shop. The number of programs and applications is growing exponentially, and new fields and activities are emerging in the IT world. Concepts that were recently cutting edge, such as cloud solutions, e-commerce developments or augmented reality, are giving way to new solutions such as pervasive artificial intelligence (AI).
But wherever modern technology acts independently or assists humans, many new legal and ethical questions arise. Who is responsible for the results of programs and algorithms? Who owns the rights to the database created? How should the relationship between human and AI work be organised? What can be done to ensure that the design of new products and applications does not violate the rights of others, cybersecurity rules and existing regulations? How can emerging regulations be effectively implemented?
Legal services for the IT sector
Advanced IT solutions require careful, multi-faceted legal protection. Legal services for the IT sector are almost always complex and demanding, requiring flexibility, creativity and knowledge, as regulations often fail to keep pace with new developments. Lawyers and attorneys at law specialising in IT need to continually further their education and have a good understanding of both the law and the intricacies and nuances of technology.
Technological advances are creating new challenges for the IT sector, particularly for software developers and cyber security experts. In the face of these dynamic changes, companies need proven and experienced advisors to help them navigate not only the technological, but also the legal landscape. JWP Law Firm’s experts specialising in the law of new technologies work closely with clients to identify, develop, commercialise and protect the rights to their projects, programs and databases.
Why do you need a lawyer in the IT sector?
The support of a lawyer or attorney at law in IT is essential for any company thinking of developing and commercialising its own technology projects. Companies using these modern solutions or outsourcing or implementing them to external partners also need the assistance of a law firm specialising in the law of new technologies. A trusted specialist will ensure that contracts and projects comply with applicable regulations, help negotiate contractual provisions, draft confidentiality agreements and protect the company’s interests.
The support of law firms is particularly important for companies starting to work with artificial intelligence. A lawyer who understands AI, its principles and capabilities can advise on how to organise work and delineate responsibilities between employees and software, what security policies to establish and how to design procedures that minimise the risk of costly litigation and ensure the security of personal data and confidential information.
