SOFTWARE & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Software and digital assets are increasingly central to modern business operations. Companies developing, licensing, commercialising, or deploying software products must navigate complex legal issues relating to intellectual property ownership, licensing structures, open-source obligations, SaaS models, and cross-border regulatory compliance.

​

We advise technology companies, SaaS providers, software developers, digital businesses, startups, and international companies operating in or entering the European Union on the legal and commercial aspects of software and digital intellectual property.

​

Our work covers both proprietary and open-source software ecosystems, including licensing obligations, copyright ownership, commercial exploitation, contractual allocation of rights, and compliance risks associated with software distribution and deployment.

​

Given the cross-border and intangible nature of software and digital intellectual property, businesses often face overlapping legal and regulatory considerations across multiple jurisdictions. Where required, we collaborate with legal professionals in relevant EU jurisdictions to support international software licensing, compliance, and intellectual property matters.
