At Perez & Co., we advise companies that develop, acquire or use technology solutions. Our goal is to help them innovate with legal certainty by identifying and managing risks related to artificial intelligence, software, software as a service, intellectual property, personal data, contracts, consumer protection and liability.
We understand that technology evolves faster than regulation. We therefore provide practical, adaptable recommendations that allow new projects to move forward while addressing their legal, operational and reputational implications.
