Complex Technology Projects: Understanding a Lawyer’s Role (2024) (On Demand)

This On Demand was originally recorded on 12 September 2024.

If you’re working in-house, chances are that at some point you will face complex contracts as your organisation implements a new piece of technology or outsources some or all of its IT management to a technology services provider. And as many of us know, tech projects (whether large or small) are some of the most complex projects any business will undertake. As such, tech projects are inherently high-risk – even if the business is confident there will be no business disruption or budget blow-out. So, you need to know about the contracting process, the pressure points and the potential issues common to most technology projects. 

In this On Demand, Michael Moyes, who leads Duncan Cotterill’s Auckland based technology and IP practice, will take you through the areas of key risk – starting from the RFx process, through the short-listing and negotiating with the successful bidders, to the project delivery. 

This is very much a “top tips” session, all from a customer’s perspective.

Who should watch?

All in-house lawyers.

Learning Outcomes

  • Gain a better understanding of the key issues and risks involved with technology projects. 
  • From a customer perspective, ascertain what your expectations should be – in terms of legal process and outcomes.
  • Gain a better understanding of some of the non-legal challenges involved in these projects and how those impact on success.
