INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LAW
ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE, BUT FILTERED THROUGH THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT DIGITISATION HAS BROUGHT WITH IT.
When we talk about New Technology Law, we are referring to a multidisciplinary subject with repercussions in many different areas. Of course, it has repercussions in relation to intellectual property, giving rise to specific situations and problems, but also to new approaches to old problems, which require highly specialised treatment. We can help you meet all these challenges: the particularities of the legal regime for specific creations, such as computer programmes or databases, the special problems of copyright exploitation on the Internet, or the training of AI systems by feeding them protected works or personal images. These are just a few examples of the many issues on which our firm can offer you essential legal advice to help you navigate a new virtual world, but with problems as real as ever.
And all this without forgetting equally important aspects arising from the so-called information society. This is the case with the unique nature of e-commerce regulation, advertising on social media, and the growing illegal use of the resources that digitisation has generated.
