ICT Law
ICT Law
When we talk about a jurisdiction that did not exist a few decades ago but has now become unthinkable in our present society, we are, of course, talking about ICT law.
ICT law is a special field of law in which technology, business economics and legal aspects are intertwined. Because the world is digitalising to a great extent and internet use continues to increase, developments in the field of ICT follow each other in rapid succession. As a result, new technologies are emerging that make it possible to develop and offer innovative services, that is why a whole range of new legal rules are needed. Not only ICT itself, but virtually every area of law has changed with the rise of the internet and digitisation.
Much of the ICT law that is considered applicable in our country comes from Europe. That is because ICT is a jurisdiction that does not care much about national borders. That is also a direct indication of the complexity of this area of law. Since we can load any website, anywhere in the world, within a second, there is a great need for international rules.
ICT law consists of all kinds of areas of law combined and is not a specific law in its own. ICT law is therefore a very diverse area of law. If you have to deal with ICT law, you may encounter the following subjects:
IT procurement and IT outsourcing
SaaS and Cloud
IT contracts
