Intellectual Property & Digital Technology

MAY Law provides specialised legal advice and handles cases, disputes and strategic issues in the areas of intellectual property, IT law, digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and personal data law (GDPR). We advise companies in need of strong legal protection and professional management of their technological and digital assets.

Our lawyers have many years of experience advising on trademarks, copyright, design rights, domain names and other IP rights — both for small and medium-sized companies and for larger international companies. We understand the commercial realities and always adapt the advice to your business and growth ambitions.

We provide end-to-end advice across the intellectual property value chain — from strategy and registration (including trademarks) to protection, enforcement and infringement disputes. Our team has strong experience in injunctive proceedings, acting both for claimants seeking to restrain competitors and for clients defending such actions.

We advise on all legal aspects of IT and technology contracts, including the acquisition, development and implementation of IT systems. We have particular expertise in SaaS solutions, ERP systems and transformations, as well as IT projects where AI is a central component. We draft and negotiate IT contracts and ensure that solutions comply with applicable law and best practice.

When AI is included in your IT solution, we also advise on compliance, including handling high-risk AI systems in accordance with the AI Regulation and the interaction between AI regulation, GDPR and IT security. If your company is faced with outsourcing all or part of IT operations, we help with the legal structuring of the project, including contracts, risk allocation, data protection and supplier liability.

Finally, we work closely with our M&A team on the purchase and sale of technology companies. Whether you are a buyer or seller, we provide specialist advice in both technology, IP, IT contracts and regulatory matters so that the transaction is completed safely and efficiently.
