IT Outsourcing

The transfer of IT services to an external provider is common practice for many companies. For us, accompanying such a project means the gladly accepted challenge of identifying and consistently representing the legal, economic and technical operational goals and interests of our clients. 

The transfer of IT services to an external provider is common practice for many companies.

The range of outsourced IT services extends from special individual solutions to the outsourcing of entire - often central - process divisions. At the same time, the close and often long-term relationship between customers and IT service providers requires a reliable contractual basis that ensures partnership and the regulation of essential rights and obligations of both parties. At the same time, it is important to provide for a degree of flexibility throughout the entire outsourcing period that ensures future security in the event of technological developments or strategic realignments. For us, accompanying such a project means the gladly accepted challenge of identifying and consistently representing the legal, economic and technical operational goals and interests of our clients. Our knowledge and skills go beyond IT and data protection law. In particular, it also covers the regularly critical parameters from the areas of labour, company and tax law.
