IT LAW AND DIGITAL BUSINESS
Digital business needs an understanding of digital opportunities and the specifics of this business. Whether you are on the client side and want to conclude contracts for IT projects and the use of hardware and software, or whether you offer digital products and services - we bring the enthusiasm and know-how for these topics with us.

Especially in digital projects, legal questions arise very quickly and repeatedly in the course of the project. Data protection, contract law and, of course, specific IT law issues all come into play here - IT law is not a sharply defined area of law, but a multi-layered subject matter drawing on various specialist areas.
The projects of our clients are just as diverse. The classic B2C or B2B online shop, trading platforms and mobile applications such as apps are just as common as projects for IT integration or outsourcing or digital products such as software.

Territorial scope of NIS-2 – When does the German BSIG apply to managed service providers (MSPs) from third countries?
In a previous article (only available in German), we addressed the question of who qualifies as a managed service provider (MSP) or managed security service provider (MSSP) under the amended German Act on the Federal Office for Information Security and on information security in entities (BSI Act – BSIG) (Note: There is currently no official English translation of the current version of the BSIG. However, there is at least a machine translation by the EU.). If a company within a group of companies is centrally responsible for the operation of the group's IT, it can be classified as an MSP and thus as an important or particularly important entity within the meaning of Sec. 28 para. 1 no. 4 and/or Sec. 28 para. 2 no. 3 BSIG – provided that it falls within the scope of the BSIG.
NIS-2: Obligation to designate a representative for entities in third countries
Within the scope of the NIS-2 Directive (NIS-2-RL), situations may arise in which providers of certain NIS-2-relevant services, such as managed service providers, are based solely in a third country but offer services within the EU. According to Art. 2 (1) NIS-2 Directive, the territorial scope of application applies as soon as a company provides a service or carries out activities in the EU. Art. 26 NIS-2 Directive specifies this scope of application to the effect that, in principle, the Member State in which the entity is located and thus its respective implementing law is applicable. We have already written an article on this subject.
