Describe my needOur support in IT, data and compliance
IT contracts and digital projects
IT projects have a lasting impact on organisations and involve major financial, technical and operational stakes.
We help you to:
- negotiate and draft your IT contracts (development, integration, maintenance, SaaS, licensing)
- secure contractual commitments and service levels
- structure the contractual governance of your projects
- monitor contract performance and anticipate difficulties
We also take into account the specific regulations applicable to certain sectors (implementation of the DORA Regulation, NIS2) or to all operators generally (AI Act, Data Act).
IT project litigation and dispute management
IT projects can give rise to complex disputes: delays, non-conformity, service-provider failures, integration difficulties.
We act both pre-litigation and in litigation to:
- analyse the malfunctions and the liability involved
- set out the grievances and assess the losses suffered
- build a dispute resolution strategy
- favour amicable solutions where appropriate
- represent your interests before the competent courts
Our extensive experience in this field enables us to liaise with all stakeholders in the sector (IT experts, technical experts, financial experts for assessing losses) and to advise you in the way that best serves your interests.
Personal data and GDPR compliance
Managing personal data is a central concern for organisations.
We support you through a comprehensive compliance process:
- GDPR compliance audits
- mapping of data processing activities and risks
- implementation of documentation (registers, policies, procedures)
- support in dealings with the CNIL
- management of data breaches
We can also act as an outsourced DPO, providing regular, structured oversight of your compliance. We also run simulated CNIL inspections to help legal and operational teams prepare as effectively as possible for what a real inspection may involve: our experience of such inspections enables us to produce detailed, precise reports that help improve internal processes.
Cybersecurity and regulation (DORA, NIS2)
Cybersecurity obligations are increasing, particularly for public-sector bodies and regulated sectors, notably banking and insurance.
We help you to:
- identify the obligations that apply to you (DORA, NIS2, sector-specific regulation)
- structure your security and incident-management arrangements
- secure your contractual relationships with IT service providers and update your contracts
- anticipate the legal risks linked to cyberattacks
Artificial intelligence and new digital uses
The development of artificial intelligence systems raises new legal issues: liability, transparency, regulatory compliance.
Our work in this area typically involves:
- analysing the obligations linked to the use of AI (AI Act)
- governing internal and external use by implementing or reviewing internal AI usage policies
- securing projects that incorporate AI systems through a 360° impact assessment
- anticipating legal and reputational risks
Data, open data and the value of digital assets
Data is a strategic asset for businesses and public bodies alike.
We help you to:
- define the legal status of your data
- organise its protection and exploitation
- structure open data projects and protect databases
- secure the exchange and flow of data
Intellectual property and digital
Digital projects raise significant intellectual property issues.
We act in particular on:
- the protection of creative works (software, content, databases)
- the management of copyright and trade marks
- securing the transfer of rights within IT contracts
- defending your rights in the event of disputes, including the removal of online content (defamation, cybersquatting, infringement)
E-commerce and platforms
Online activities and platforms are subject to specific rules.
We help you to:
- secure your websites and platforms (terms and conditions of sale, terms of use, legal notices)
- structure your online distribution models
- ensure compliance with regulatory obligations
- manage disputes relating to e-commerce
