From electronics in automobiles to communicating with smartphones to pacemakers: our lives depend on reliable IT, communications technology, media technology, and the corresponding hardware and software. Today’s world would be unimaginable without the advancements the world has witnessed over the years. For companies, these advancements are often their lifeblood. At SCHIEDERMAIR, we advise and represent our clients on any issues that may arise in these sectors.
We support our clients in a wide range of legal issues that may arise in the IT, media, and communications fields. Starting with the structuring and seeing through of IT projects, we draft and negotiate software development agreements, license and maintenance agreements, and advise on innovative services such as “Software as a Service” (“SaaS”), cloud computing, and other software-related services.
Our advice is based on technical know-how that we have acquired over the years; we pride ourselves on always staying on top of developments.
