Digital Law Desk.
Specialised legal expertise, precisely when you need it.
Running a business today means dealing with contracts and legal challenges, often all at once. But bringing on an additional full-time lawyer is a significant step, and ad hoc advice is often slow and unpredictable.
The Digital Law Desk gives you direct access to qualified legal professionals, without waiting times or unexpected invoices.
Trusted organisation who take digital law seriously
You’re in good company.
What is the Digital Law Desk?
The Digital Law Desk is a flexible, on-demand legal helpdesk for organisations that need specialised legal support in data, cybersecurity, AI and technology, without the cost and complexity of a permanent or additional in-house lawyer or external counsel.
Based on an hour package with one clear, uniform (blended) hourly rate, we deliver tailored legal support, aligned with your specific situation, needs and context.
Think of it as your legal team, ready to get started straight away.
Who is the Digital Law Desk for?
The Digital Law Desk is built for organisations that:
- have fluctuating legal needs, with busy periods followed by quieter stretches
- lack the budget for a full-time lawyer, but cannot operate without expert support
- need rapid, specialised assistance in digital law, whether that means legal advice, drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts, or resolving disputes
- strive for consistent, reliable quality, without the unpredictability of rotating external advisors
- want cost predictability, without being tied to fixed structures or a standing subscription
- are looking for a trusted point of contact who understands their business and its specific context inside out
Whether you are a business leader juggling many responsibilities, or an in-house lawyer looking for support outside your core expertise or a second pair of eyes, the Digital Law Desk is efficient and dependable.
What can you come to us for?
Data:
Data is subject to a growing body of regulation, including the Data Act and the Data Governance Act. We assist with data-sharing agreements, the protection of trade secrets, and the rules around interoperability.
Cybersecurity:
Legal resilience starts with the right contracts and a clear understanding of your obligations. We advise on NIS2, DORA and the Cyber Resilience Act, support you with supplier contracts, and stand by you before, during and after a cyber incident.
Artificial intelligence:
From the EU AI Act to contractual arrangements around algorithms and generative AI. We help you build a legally sound AI policy and advise on intellectual property and liability in AI implementations.
Technology and digital business:
IT contracts, SaaS and cloud agreements, software development, licences and SLAs. As well as the legal side of your digital business: general terms and conditions, consumer law, cookie policies, eIDAS, digital accessibility and the Digital Services Act for platforms and intermediaries.
