IT

Berwins have developed a particular speciality in this area since 1995 and have grown a profile and reputation in relation to (for instance):
  • software licensing - dealing with licenses for high-value products with negotiated licenses, and with click-wrap and shrink-wrap licenses
  • software development - involving joint development, consultancy agreements, agile development models and resulting licensing issues
  • website development - dealing with issues of ownership of content, service levels, design and termination
  • website hosting
  • website design
  • escrow arrangements - covering the deposit of source code with trusted third parties, and the provisions for its release
  • reseller agreements - allowing software developers to appoint resellers of their products whilst maintaining control of licensing, quality and service levels
  • outsourcing agreements - where key IT functions are taken out of a customer’s hands and dealt with on their behalf, with key issues over performance and liability
We have acted both on domestic and international licensing schemes and have experience in negotiations with major international banks and other substantial and blue chip companies and organisations.
 
Our experience in this area has attracted a number of companies in the IT industry and related businesses, where we are able to look after their full range of business needs with specialist knowledge of their particular industry.
 
Berwins’ managing partner Paul Berwin is a member of the Society for Computers and Law, has written for the Society’s journal, and is the only solicitor in North Yorkshire recommended in the Legal 500 directory for work on Intellectual Property matters (of which Information Technology Law forms part).
