We handle agreements encompassing all forms of cloud services (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), as well as those involving video game development, mobile applications, music distribution, geolocation services, payment processing, fraud prevention, data analytics, and digital advertising.
As businesses increasingly undergo digital transformations, we guide clients in identifying opportunities and mitigating vulnerabilities. We assist in developing strategies to manage, protect, and leverage digital assets such as Big Data, predictive analytics, machine learning, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced recognition technologies for voice, text, and vision.
Our lawyers provide counsel on a wide range of technology-driven transactions, including traditional and digital outsourcing, artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, machine learning (ML), data center and infrastructure projects, telecommunications, software audit mitigation, and managed network services.

We also collaborate closely with our intellectual property, regulatory, and cybersecurity/data privacy teams to address nuanced issues that may arise. We deliver seamless, cross-border solutions, helping clients maximize value, minimize risk, and accelerate deal timelines.
