IT Law
BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT prepares large IT projects from a contractual perspective and supports these for their duration. We offer our clients well-founded, process oriented legal advice. Our services range from the pure planning and development of the contracts, through support at the contractual negotiation stage and to advisory assistance during the fulfilment of the contract.
IT projects can be broken down into several phases, the first of which usually takes place without a written agreement: the determination of the object of the contract with performance specification, iterative test runs and the implementation of the programming. Such a situation can sometimes lead to difficulties and this is where our services can assist as we offer our clients the necessary legal and contractual support from the very beginning.
We thereby place particular value on continuous contractual support and working together. Our clients themselves decide in which areas they would like to take advantage of our service.
