Intellectual property and IT

PwC Legal offers advisory services in the area of intellectual property, new information technologies and personal data protection.

Information technology is developing at a rapid pace. This has the advantage that it allows you to continuously develop new processes, services and business models. IT and digitalisation offer great opportunities for your organisation, but, at the same time, also create high risks – a fact that is often neglected. New developments result in constantly changing requirements regarding the protection of intellectual property and regulatory guidelines, particularly on data protection.

PwC Legal answers your subsequent questions quickly and competently. We do not just limit our services to legal advice. Through our close cooperation with PwC we also offer you the necessary technical, commercial and organisational expertise at any time. We provide you with guidance ranging from the design of IT solutions to litigation services so that you can successfully operate on the market.
