Technological progress is speeding up quicker than many can keep pace with. Mahoneys is proud to help Queensland businesses adapt and thrive in the ever changing regulatory environment that applies to the development and adoption of critical technology.
Technology law is a specialist area of law that refers to the legal framework and regulations that govern the use, development and commercialisation of technology; data protection and cyber security.
While it is a specialised area of law in its own right, it overlaps with many other areas of commercial law (like tax). As a result, businesses built on the use and commercialisation of technology face unique legal challenges.
In our Guide to Technology Law we cover off some of those challenges, and provide strategies for minimising the legal operational and financial risks, in relation to:
- developing software
- software as a service (SaaS)
- end user licence agreements
- research collaboration
- business and share sales
- shareholder agreements
- raising capital
- protecting trademarks
- protecting ideas and inventions
- data security
- using and developing AI
You can read a copy of the guide here.
Our dedicated technology law team regularly acts for licensors, licensees, buyers, sellers and investors across a broad range of markets and industries – including:
