The commitment of Broseta Abogados to offering a comprehensive legal advice service to businesses has led the firm to a prominent position in the area of new technologies through training and incorporating highly regarded professionals. In fact, we were pioneers in Valencia in creating a specific department dedicated to New Technologies and Intellectual Property. We have grown along with this area and today maintain a permanent commitment to innovation and research in this area with great projection for the future.

(+) In the e-commerce field, we have advised the promoters of B2B and B2C web portals on the design of their projects, including negotiation of financing (banks, venture capital, investors), shareholders agreements and the contractual structure generated by operating the portals (advertising, sales, payment methods, etc.). We placed particular emphasis on reconciling the legal security of electronic contracting with the operational capacity of the portals and their derived business activities.
Our lawyers are also particularly familiar with IT Contracting in its many different forms. We have drafted and negotiated contracts for advertising, IT outsourcing, software development, hosting and the granting of licences, among other matters. Our client portfolio is composed of prestigious IT and New Economy companies (including some leading Internet portals) which approach Broseta Abogados seeking our experience in the negotiation of highly complex contracts and our understanding of the associated technological issues posed by them. These matters are handled by professionals possessing all the necessary training and experience in this field.
Broseta Abogados’ portfolio of clients in this area includes the Public Authorities, which means that we take part in extremely important projects, including the development of Digital Cities, the promotion and implementation of Electronic Signature, and providing advice on large- and medium-scale projects to encourage the development of Electronic Administration.
Intellectual Property has taken on a great deal of importance due to these new channels of communication. In this field, we have advised our clients with regard to the organisation of cultural, musical and sporting events, the protection of television formats and audiovisual works, the protection of websites and problems deriving from the management of rights in relation to the corresponding administrative agencies. As examples of our activities in this sector, we also promote software deposits and the registration of audiovisual, literary and multimedia works in the most appropriate public or private registers.
One highly topical issue in the world of New Technologies at the moment, Personal Data Protection, is a field in which Broseta Abogados offers something which separates it from the competition: a great deal of experience in adapting medium and large companies and the possibility of performing their regularization. According to the client’s preferences, we can either work with the client’s own IT equipment or bring in our technological partner in these areas for technical collaboration: Soluziona, one of the leading Spanish consultancy firms in the sector.
No one can overlook the way that Internet and New Technologies have influenced the Telecommunications world, where we have collaborated by advising companies on the processing of licences and development of new mobile telephone systems and cable systems. Another area where they have considerable impact is Domain Name Protection, a field in which Broseta Abogados has been actively involved in both international arbitration and legal proceedings for recovering domain names.
