About

Provided by Fasken

As recognized leaders in IT law, Fasken is well-positioned to help your business anticipate and address the increasing pace of technological change, and your evolving business needs. Whether you are a technology company, or you use technology in your business, we provide balanced, pragmatic advice when you need to make key decisions. To address all of your IT-related legal concerns, we work closely as trusted advisors to in-house practitioners and business leaders.

Whether your organization is purchasing or providing IT services, we advise on everything from large systems implementations and outsourcing arrangements, to Internet business models, to new technologies.

We recognize that technological developments raise issues across a broad range of subject matters, and take a collaborative multidisciplinary approach to addressing those issues. For example, cryptocurrencies raise technology, securities, financial services and tax considerations.

If you’re launching initiatives to advance technology infrastructure or services, in addition to developing and negotiating the agreements, we’ll work with you to develop comprehensive RFPs and conduct a successful procurement; develop and implement cloud and outsourcing strategies; address data security, privacy and CASL issues; create governance, IT security, record retention and other critical policies.
