Internet and Technology Law

As digital transformation reshapes every aspect of business life and everyday life, it also brings with it new legal risks and responsibilities. An e-commerce platform, a software-developing start-up, a brand producing content on social media, or a company making data-driven decisions now encounters legal issues arising from the digital environment far more frequently than in the past.

In the field of IT and technology law, we provide our clients with consultancy and litigation services focused not only on resolving legal issues that have already arisen, but also on anticipating and eliminating such issues before they emerge. The practical experience we have gained while working with technology companies, start-ups, e-commerce platforms, and international investors ensures that our legal solutions are aligned with business objectives, practical, and swift.

Some of the services we provide to our clients within the scope of IT and technology law are as follows:

  • Drafting and negotiating software development, SaaS, licensing, and technology transfer agreements
  • Compliance with e-commerce legislation: drafting distance sales agreements, preliminary information forms, terms of use, and privacy policies
