Details

This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition of IT Contracts and Dispute Management provides an in-depth analysis of the legal issues that could potentially arise within each critical stage of a technology project. The authors draw on their extensive practical experience of advising and litigating in this evolving field, and have produced a work that is both authoritative and pragmatic.

Key Features:

Discussion of recent judicial decision of relational contracts, and the Supreme Court’s judgment on ‘no oral modification’ clauses and their applicability to change control procedures
Updated information to account for the new High Court rules on disclosure
Guidance on how to manage frequently occurring issues, such as delayed delivery
Examination of important methods of project resuscitation when experiencing difficulty, as well as potential end of project issues

This informative book will be a hugely valuable resource for lawyers in private practice who are advising clients striving to avoid or resolve disputes occurring from IT projects. It will also be beneficial for in-house legal counsel who advise clients at each stage of IT projects.
