The proper functioning of IT systems is critical for many organizations, and they cannot afford to leave anything to chance in software development projects. That’s why smart, customized contracts are essential, helping to resolve deadlock situations before they escalate into costly litigation. Despite careful planning, experience shows that IT processes frequently lead to disputes and, ultimately, litigation.
 

When IT systems fail after development and implementation, the consequences for businesses can be severe. Downtime can disrupt operations, lead to financial losses, and even expose companies to liability from third parties such as customers. In cases where security systems are compromised, businesses face risks of data breaches, theft of trade secrets, and intellectual property.
 

At the same time, IT systems are often incredibly complex, and rapid technological advances mean that suppliers cannot always guarantee 100% system availability or complete protection from vulnerabilities.
 

Just as IT influences every aspect of modern society, IT law spans many disciplines. It touches on intellectual property law—since software is often protected by copyright—as well as online contracting, digital signatures, cybersecurity, and more.

At Stonebrookfirm, our attorneys are seasoned IT specialists with deep expertise in crafting solid contracts that protect the interests of both clients and suppliers. Our experience on both sides of the table gives us a unique perspective on the issues and allows us to create contracts that safeguard the entire process.
