IT Disputes

Technology and IT software is vital for business operations. With business needs and requirements constantly changing we have seen a rise in the number of agile software solutions being offered. 

However, the increasing need for flexible solutions can lead to disputes between software providers and end-users.   

Our specialist solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with IT disputes (acting for both software developers and those procuring IT infrastructure and services).

Our Commercial Litigation Team is ranked Tier 1 in the UK Legal 500. When disputes do happen, we act swiftly to assess our clients’ options and provide strategic commercial advice to meet objectives and resolve disputes.

Recent examples of Myerson’s work in this area include:

• Acting for a company that had appointed a developer to develop bespoke online food ordering and table booking app in relation to breaches of the development agreement, potential infringement of IP rights and misuse of confidential information by the app developer;
• Representing a technology company and successfully defending a claim brought by a software developer in relation to the ownership of source code.
• Defending individuals in relation to a claim for breach of copyright in source code.
• Acting for a manufacturer of frozen foods, in a claim against one of its former employees in relation to misuse of confidential information and copyright and database right infringements.
