Who this is for
For founders, developers and digital businesses who need a lawyer that gets the tech
A technology lawyer handles the legal side of building and running digital products and services: software contracts, data protection, intellectual property, terms of service, licensing and regulatory compliance. Whether you are a startup writing its first customer agreements, a scale-up entering new European markets, a developer negotiating a contract, or an established company rolling out an AI feature, the questions are rarely simple and the wrong answer is expensive. The challenge is finding counsel who understands both the law and the technology, because a generalist often misses the nuance that matters. Our network connects you with lawyers who work in technology every day across the EU and EEA, so you get advice grounded in how software, platforms and data actually work — not generic legal templates.
Why tech teams get stuck
The law around technology is fragmented,
and generalist advice is expensive
Between data rules, licensing and cross-border regulation, most teams don’t know which question to ask until something breaks.
Contracts that outgrow the business
Early agreements are often copied, one-sided or silent on key points like liability, data ownership and termination. As revenue grows, those gaps become real exposure that is far costlier to fix later than to get right now.
Compliance nobody can confirm
GDPR, e-commerce rules, consumer protection and AI regulation each impose obligations that vary by country. Without a lawyer who follows these rules daily, teams end up guessing — or worse, assuming compliance they cannot actually demonstrate.
Intellectual property leaking away
Who owns the code, the design and the data? Without clear assignments, licences and contributor agreements, a company can discover too late that a contractor, former employee or open-source dependency holds a claim over its core asset.
What you get
A technology lawyer who works on digital business, not just occasionally
We only match you with counsel who handle software, data and internet matters regularly in your target jurisdiction.
Contracts built for software
Customer terms, SaaS agreements, licences and service-level commitments drafted to fit how your product actually works, with liability, data and IP positions that protect the business as it scales.
Data protection done right
A practical review of your GDPR posture, privacy notices, data-processing agreements and international transfers, so you can evidence compliance instead of hoping for the best.
IP that stays yours
Clear ownership of code, designs and data through assignment clauses, contributor agreements and open-source licence audits, so your most valuable assets are not quietly diluted.
Launch and negotiation support
From a first release to a cross-border expansion, your lawyer reviews the risks, negotiates the key terms and flags the regulatory points that could otherwise block a launch.

Frequently asked
Technology lawyers — common questions
What does a technology lawyer actually do?
A technology lawyer advises on the legal issues around digital products and services — software contracts, data protection, intellectual property, licensing, terms of service and regulatory compliance. They draft and negotiate agreements and help you identify risks before they become disputes or fines.
When should a startup first involve a technology lawyer?
As early as possible, ideally before signing your first customer, contractor or investor agreement. Getting foundational contracts and IP ownership right from the start is far cheaper than unwinding problems that emerge once the business has revenue and multiple parties involved.
How is technology law different from general commercial law?
Technology law adds layers that general commercial practice often underweights: data protection, software licensing, source-code ownership, open-source obligations and sector regulation. A specialist understands how these interact, which is where the real risk usually sits.
Do technology lawyers help with GDPR compliance?
Yes. They typically review your data processing, draft privacy notices and data-processing agreements, and advise on international transfers and breach response. Requirements vary by country and processing type, so a lawyer confirms what applies to your specific situation.
Can a technology lawyer help if I am buying or licensing software?
Yes. They review licence terms, scope, restrictions, audit rights and liability, and negotiate points that affect how you can use and resell the software. This protects you from hidden costs or unexpected obligations down the line.
How do I find the right technology lawyer for my jurisdiction?
Describe your product and the countries involved, and we match you with a lawyer who practises technology law in the relevant jurisdiction — free of charge and with no obligation to instruct. They then confirm the specifics that apply to your case.
