IT law and ICT agreements
Information technology legislation and in particularIT agreementsis highly fragmented. Both the rules from European law and laws established in the Belgian context may apply.
In addition, current internet law is limited and insufficiently adapted to theICT practice. In other words, the existing legal principles of IT law offer little solution for thelegal issuesthat may occur in practice.
It is therefore important to compensate for the lack of clear rules by making good agreements and recording them inwatertight agreementsto avoid any future lawsuits.

Gaming & New Technologies
In recent years, the technology has clearly changedstrong advancein process. IT law develops more slowly than other areas of law and often struggles to keep up with technical progress. The result is that in the early stages only general legal principles sometimes apply that cannot simply be applied to these new technologies. For example, consider thegaming sectorwhich raises new legal issues.
This can cause these technologies to be (partially) in a'grey zone'end up. However, when new technologies are created and offered, general rules will often still apply, such as data protection or copyright law.
However, the legislative authorities regularly make up for the lack of (adapted) regulations through new initiatives in IT law.
At Mr. Franklin we followboth legal and technicaldevelopments in ICT closely. We also advise several gaming studios on both legal and information security matters.
