IT law
Years of experience and routine handling of often highly complex constellations are characteristic of Julian Westpfahl and his practice in IT law. His passion to structure and contractually design facts and problems are typical of his approach both for special individual solutions and for the outsourcing of entire process divisions.
Julian Westpfahl represents IT (service) providers and IT users not only in the context of IT, project, and outsourcing agreements, but also provides comprehensive advice in fields such as copyright law, licensing, and IT compliance.
In the context of project-related support for outsourcing processes, Julian Westpfahl can draw on a well-rehearded team of experts, also from other specialist areas, such as labour law, corporate law, or tax law, and steer this team towards the identified goals.
In addition, Julian Westpfahl has also worked as a trial lawyer from the beginning of his career, representing his clients in the consistent pursuit of their interests both in confrontational disputes as well as in relation to critical project difficulties. His expertise in this field also enables him to focus on the decisive aspects during contract negotiations.
Julian Westpfahl always focuses on issues that need to be newly developed legally and that are of current importance for the IT industry and for companies in general. In this respect, the “Internet of Things”/ “Industry 4.0”, “Big Data” and “Cloud Computing” are worthy of special mention.
