IT, e-commerce and telecommunications

 

LETT provides advice on drafting and conclusion of IT contracts, ranging from simple licence agreements to comprehensive agreements on outsourcing or facility management involving the transfer of a business, employees, and computer equipment.

 

LETT has extensive knowledge of the commercial and financial considerations behind the conclusion of IT contracts and the advice provided is always based on the client’s specific reasons for concluding the contract. IT contracts are often concluded as part of a project involving several players cooperating closely. LETT has extensive experience in participating in such projects, including cooperating with e.g. consulting firms that also assist in concluding contracts.

 

LETT provides advice to businesses and suppliers in a number of areas related to information technology and e-commerce, including payment instruments and systems, digital signatures, domain name protection, copyright, trademark law and consumer protection as regards e-commerce. LETT has considerable expertise in issues relating to rights within the field of IT. In addition, we also provide advice on the protection of rights – e.g. under the Danish Copyright Act and the Danish Patent Act.

 

LETT conducts cases on infringement of rights, including conducting speedy and efficient injunction proceedings. LETT has advised businesses on assessing domain name disputes and has conducted cases before the Danish Complaints Board for Domain Names and the courts.

 

In connection with the use of IT in businesses, issues relating to the processing of personal data often arise. LETT provides advice on the general rules set out in the Act on Processing of Personal Data as well as the specific rules applying to e.g. IT security, data collection on the Internet, use of customer databases for marketing purposes and camera surveillance.

 

LETT is one of the leading law firms within the field of telecommunications and we safeguard the interests of businesses as well as interest groups. The gradual liberalisation of the telecom sector has resulted in extensive regulation of the interrelations between telecom businesses and the relations with consumers. Providing advice within this area often requires thorough knowledge of previous as well as present legislation. LETT keeps a close eye on developments in the telecom sector.

 

We advise on the safeguarding of interests in relation to public authorities as regards e.g. interconnect traffic, consumer relations and the use of number resources. LETT ranges among the law firms that have conducted the highest number of lawsuits on issues of telecommunications law.
