Technology, Telecoms & Data
Technology contracts and data arrangements that reflect the service the business needs.
Technology becomes a commercial dependency when the business relies on it to operate. Adad advises on the Qatar corporate, contractual and regulatory aspects of technology, telecommunications and data, connecting the legal documents with the service they are intended to support.
Our work includes software, SaaS, cloud services, outsourcing, procurement and digital infrastructure arrangements. We consider acceptance, availability, integration, intellectual property, support and liability against the significance of the service to the client’s operations.
Data advice begins with the information itself: what is collected, why it is used, where it moves and who determines its use. We help translate those responsibilities into contractual provisions, privacy documentation and regulatory assessments.
We also examine how the relationship can change. Incident handling, service continuity, access to information and transition to another provider should be addressed before the client becomes dependent on a platform or supplier. Technical teams and overseas counsel are involved where their input is required.
THE DECISIONS THAT MATTER
The service dependency
Identify what the business depends on: access, availability, integration, support and the ability to move to another provider.
The information flow
Establish what data is used, where it goes, who controls it and which contractual and regulatory obligations follow.
The commercial protection
Align intellectual property, liability, incident response, continuity and exit with the value and purpose of the service.
