Technology, Innovation and Digitalisation
Technology is transforming businesses, the public sector and society at a pace rarely seen before. For organisations, this creates significant opportunities, but also a need to navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape within data protection, information security, competition law, marketing and public procurement. We assist companies in capturing these opportunities while managing risk.
Legal advisory services within technology and digitalisation
Brækhus’ technology team consists of specialised lawyers advising everyone from start-ups to some of the largest Norwegian and international companies on technology-related matters. We bring commercial and strategic insight into all our advisory work and understand the technology underpinning industry-specific contracts, standards and regulatory requirements.
Our lawyers are among Norway’s leading advisers on the development, utilisation and commercialisation of technological and innovative solutions. Several of our lawyers have extensive experience from global technology companies and are recognised in national and international rankings. We lecture on technology development at universities and colleges and regularly publish articles on the intersection between technology and law.
We provide assistance across the full technology spectrum – from development to the planning and execution of procurements and projects, as well as negotiations and dispute resolution. Our dedicated technology team offers multidisciplinary expertise and works closely with our specialists in corporate law, intellectual property, and tax and VAT, ensuring that you always have access to the right expertise at the right time.
