This comprehensively revised second edition of IT Contracts and Dispute Management offers an in-depth analysis of the legal issues that could potentially arise within each critical stage of a technology project. The authors draw on their extensive practical experience of advising and litigating in this evolving field, and have produced a work that is both authoritative and pragmatic.

Acclaim for the first edition:

‘This book presents a much needed treatise on technology project contracts, filling a significant gap in the market. The authors bring clarity and structure to the complex legal issues which often arise in the procurement and performance of IT contracts, as well as providing practical guidance on the avoidance or resolution of disputes arising from IT projects. This work should become a primary resource not only for in-house and external practitioners but also for project directors responsible for IT contracts.’
– Atanu Sarkar, Group General Counsel, Tech Mahindra Group

‘Brilliant! A must read for those involved in any disputes. The authors have masterfully woven an expose of the law with pragmatic and practical steps that a party should consider whilst working through a dispute.’
– Jeevan D'Silva, General Counsel, T-Systems Limited

‘I heartily recommend this book for newbies to tech law and for the less experienced – reading and absorbing the lessons here will turbo-charge your level of knowledge to the level of the wizened old hack. But I really think that it has something for even the most experienced – at the very least, you will enjoy nodding along. I am delighted to see that the ebook version is very reasonably priced.'
