ICT law

ICT lawyers

Our ICT lawyers combine extensive legal knowledge with sector-specific experience. We work for organisations including mid-size to large companies that want to improve their digital strategies, governments that want to deploy lawful ICT solutions and healthcare institutions that must adhere to strict regulations when using ICT. Within the target group companies, we provide advice to both purchasers of ICT and ICT suppliers.

At Nysingh we take a multidisciplinary approach working with specialists in areas including corporate, procurement law and healthcare law. This means that you can rely on integrated advice and a strategic approach.

Our areas of expertise

Digitalisation raises a wide range of legal issues. Nysingh will support you with specialist knowledge and practical solutions in areas including the following:

ICT projects and ICT contracts

Legal support for contracts and/or disputes regarding the implementation and supply of software and hardware, outsourcing and SaaS solutions. We will ensure clear arrangements, thereby limiting the legal risks in the event of failed or delayed projects. Where necessary we will discuss the matter and, if need be, initiate proceedings.

Cybersecurity and digital safety

Compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in this field, such as the European NIS2 Directive (and the Dutch Cybersecurity Act), as well as European regulations DORA and CRA. We advise organisations on compliance obligations and on how the obligations and risks arising from these laws and regulations can be contractually assigned to the right party.

Artificial intelligence

Compliance with laws and regulations, such as the European AI Act. We advise organisations on compliance obligations and on the contractual allocation of risks and responsibilities.

Protection of personal data

Practical application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the GDPR Implementation Act and sector-specific privacy regulations, keeping the day-to-day practice in mind.

Data

Legal frameworks for data sharing, use and protection, including the Data Governance Act (DGA) and the Data Act. We help you to use data as a valuable business asset and to legally protect this data.

Innovation and intellectual property rights

Protection of investments in new digital products and technologies. We advise on matters including IP rights to software (including AI systems) and content.

We use our specialist knowledge to help your organisation comply with laws and regulations, limit risks and leave room to grow and innovate at the same time.

Related legal ICT expertise

Advice on ICT law is seldom given on its own. Digital transitions and innovative projects often touch upon multiple areas of law. Nysingh’s ICT lawyers therefore work hand-in-glove with fellow specialists at our firm, so you can always be sure of a comprehensive approach that takes into account the various areas of law that are relevant to your case, such as:

• Contract law: for the drafting, assessing and interpreting of ICT contracts (including general terms and conditions);
• Privacy law: advice on compliance with the GDPR, the GDPR Implementation Act and sector-specific regulations, including with regard to special categories of personal data;
• Intellectual property right: advice on IP rights to ICT, which is important for the protection of innovative digital solutions, software and new technologies;
• Procurement law: advice on, and compliance with, laws and regulations in relation to ICT procurement;
• Healthcare law: advice on ICT systems and the use of personal data in the healthcare sector;
• Employment law: advice on outsourcing and company transfers, the drafting of terms and conditions of employment regarding new digital processes and the role of the Works Council in relation to systems that process employees’ personal data (including AI systems);
• Business law and M&A: advice on partnerships, acquisitions, mergers and reorganisations.
