Law Form for IT Law, Online Law and Media Law
We support you in the legally compliant design of your web presence, online shops or mobile applications. An experienced IT law attorney reviews your digital products, services and advertising measures in advance for legal permissibility, in order to effectively prevent costly cease-and-desist letters. We optimise the entire contractual framework in e-commerce and draft precise general terms and conditions (GTCs) tailored to your specific business model, as well as comprehensive privacy policies. In doing so, we meticulously observe all requirements of the E-Commerce Act (ECG), consumer protection legislation and the GDPR. We are also your reliable partner in the dynamic field of social media law — from legally sound influencer marketing through to complex labelling obligations.
A further core area of our daily practice in modern IT law is the drafting and negotiation of complex IT project agreements. We design bespoke software contracts (such as SaaS, cloud or agile development agreements) and advise you comprehensively on licensing law, in order to comprehensively protect the valuable usage rights to your technologies. In light of the rapid pace of technological change, the highly topical field of AI law is also gaining increasing importance. We accompany your company strategically in the legally compliant implementation of artificial intelligence systems. At the same time, we safeguard your intellectual property through copyright and trademark law, thereby sustainably protecting the digital competitive advantage of your business.
In both traditional and digital media law, we support publishers, online platforms and companies on all matters relating to the Austrian Media Act (MedienG). We effectively represent your interests in the protection of personal rights, the defence against online defamation, and in media law right-of-reply proceedings. When implementing e-payment systems and digital payment services, every specialised lawyer in our firm additionally draws on hba’s proven expertise in banking law. We understand the international interconnections of the digital economy. With our well-founded knowledge in online law, we transform the seemingly borderless internet into a secure, legally transparent and fully calculable marketplace for you.
