About
Provided by Advokatfirmaet Hjort AS
Due to the speed of technological change, information and communications technology plays an increasingly important role for many companies. At the same time, the distinction between high-tech and traditional industries is becoming smaller. Frequently, this represents a challenge to market mechanisms, established business models and legal thinking, but also provides opportunities for those who manage to exploit their business's potential.
