Legal Implications and Consequences of IT Systems’ Failures

We invite everyone keen to gain greater insight into trends in IT law to participate in this <a href="https://register.lidw.co.uk/index.php/event/171" target="_blank" class="news-text_link">panel discussion</a>. We will address developments in business interruption and losses; missing or corrupt data; and associated contractual damages in the context of IT systems’ failures.

Our speakers have diverse and in-depth experience with different types of IT disputes (arbitrations and litigations) and look forward to sharing their insights with you.

Sam Karim KC (Gatehouse Chambers) will be speaking about dispute resolution of IT failures and arbitration.

James Shaw (Gatehouse Chambers) will share his insights as counsel acting in IT disputes. He will speak about the implications of breaching software licences, issues relating to the enforcement of warranties in IT contracts and the relevant insurance aspects.

Viktor Rykov (Senior Solicitor at Belgravia Law) will share his hands-on knowledge of force majeure and frustration of contract concepts in the context of IT contracts. Acting now as a dispute resolution lawyer, he will also provide insights from his prior practice as an international in-house lawyer with an IT company.
