IT Contracts – Digital Transformation Projects
AURELE IT anticipates the legal and operational risks associated with your digital-transformation projects and works alongside your teams to secure them at every stage.
Drawing on an in-depth understanding of the digital sector and continuous monitoring of best practices, European regulatory developments (DORA, AI Act, Data Act, NIS 2, etc.), and relevant case law, the firm provides clients with a genuine competitive advantage in the negotiation and governance of complex IT contracts.
The firm regularly advises on:
- Interpretation of new EU digital regulations (DORA, AI Regulation, Data Act, etc.) and assessment of their impact on SaaS, Cloud, and outsourcing agreements.
- Software development, distribution, and integration, including SaaS, Cloud, and IaaS service contracts.
- ERP implementation projects, including multi-phase deployment, vendor management, and integration governance.
- Drafting and negotiation of online Terms & Conditions, including Terms of Sale, Terms of Use, and hosting and infrastructure agreements.
- Blockchain-platform contracts, including governance models, service frameworks, and risk allocation.
- Preparation of responses to IT procurement tenders, whether public or private, French or international.
