Digitalisation and IT broadly encompasses the using of technologies to collaborate and innovate. This includes but is not limited to the dissemination of data and information, software, information security and e-commerce infrastructure. As such, Digital and IT Law is better characterized as a body of law which integrates a multitude of legal concepts ranging from IP to contracts to privacy and data protection in the context of digitalisation.

Evolving digital and information technologies have brought both new opportunities and risks. To effectively function, it is vital to take adequate precautions in a timely manner to ensure that you and your business are protected from breaches in privacy or breaches in the IT infrastructure itself. It is equally pertinent to have solid digital and IT policies in place.
