We cannot imagine life without media and information technology in today's society. Publishers as well as computer, Internet, telecom and media companies play a role every day in our lives, underlining our increasing dependence on the services and products of these companies.
Legal aspects that are relevant to this sector are highly diverse, varying from the demand for special computerization and publishing contracts, general conditions focusing on ICT and media companies to legal assistance in unlawful press publications and ICT and computerization conflicts.
CMS Derks Star Busmann has built up a long tradition of legal services to companies active in the media and ICT world. For example, we have been involved in drawing up the FENIT conditions that are used as standard within the ICT sector. In addition, we have offered for many years an escrow arrangement for depositing software source codes.
Our specialist lawyers have valuable litigation experience in this sector. Mediation is also regularly employed in this area as a means of settling disputes, both formally and informally.
On an international level, we work closely together with legal experts from other firms in the CMS organisation in the highly specialized Technology & Telecom focus group.
