TMT

Houthoff's experienced Technology, Media & Telecom team is made up of a large number of lawyers with in-depth knowledge of IT, internet, fintech, e-commerce and privacy law. Houthoff assists many players in the TMT market, including internet companies, ICT providers and buyers, telecom companies and innovative tech companies.

Clients engage Houthoff's TMT specialists to review and draft outsourcing agreements, software licences, service level agreements (SLAs), processing agreements, project agreements and agreements regarding the development of software, the purchase of hardware and the use of cloud services. Due to the importance of a properly functioning IT structure, extensive knowledge of IT is required – knowledge that more and more companies are outsourcing or insourcing. 

Domestic and foreign companies seek the assistance of the TMT Team in seminal mergers and acquisitions. In practice, complex IT projects have an above-average risk of failure. The TMT specialists have the knowledge and many years of experience, including in litigation, to significantly reduce this risk.

The processing and security of personal data is important in the IT sector. Companies need to be aware of the risk of heavy fines for violations of the General Data Protection Regulation from May 2018. Houthoff's TMT Team assesses whether clients are compliant with laws and regulations.
