Disruption and progress – Technology

Technology

Our att­or­neys fre­quent­ly advi­se cli­ents on tech­no­lo­gy-rela­ted dis­pu­tes that are often trig­ge­red by tech­ni­cal chal­lenges, resour­ce issues or pri­cing vola­ti­li­ty. A/L/M Part­ners have repre­sen­ted tech cli­ents in out-of-court nego­tia­ti­ons, sta­te court- and arbi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings in con­nec­tion with com­plex soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment- and imple­men­ta­ti­on pro­jects, among others. Our expe­ri­ence also extends to legal mat­ters of the semi­con­duc­tor- and solar indus­try as well as to sales- and pro­per­ty law-rela­ted issues with high-tech machi­nery. With our help, cli­ents have been able to resol­ve many of their tech dis­pu­tes amicably.
