Law in IT IT – the heart of the digital revolution
The IT industry turns technological innovations into real solutions – bringing traditional businesses into the 21st century.
With the infinite advantages of digitization – the process itself is never easy or pleasant. Businesses in traditional industries are most often associated with risk. That’s why they rely on security and stability when choosing technology. These are exactly the qualities that both the product and their IT partner must possess.
At dotlaw – for our IT partners – we bring order and a stable legal structure, so you will achieve the necessary organizational maturity in your business.

Competitive advantage in the IT industry
The enormity of the IT industry’s success is undeniable. The numbers speak for themselves. The best example? The scale of implementation of digital solutions at Polish medium-sized entrepreneurs:
From 2024 to the end of 2026, the use of ERP systems will increase by 60%,
CRM systems by 94% and BI systems by 103%.
The market is growing – and all indications are that it will continue to grow.
Competition is also growing. Not only for new projects – especially for talent.
In the IT industry, businesses such as software house, SaaS digital product or consulting business have three key elements in common:
1. the need for efficient acquisition of contractors;
2. compulsion to win and retain talent in the company;
3. product related to data processing – sometimes including personal data.
How to get ahead of the competition?
Offering more maturity and stability than the competition.
Paradoxically – the traditional approach to law is a huge obstacle in this process. The complete lack of communication of traditional legal solutions destroys communication. Without communication, it is impossible to build a relationship with a business partner or employee. Without relationships there will be no stability.
In the traditional approach to law:
1
Dozens of pages of contracts for contractors not only make it impossible to attract new customers quickly and safely – they often obscure the exact terms of the agreement for both parties.
2
Dozens of contradictory internal regulations – often created just to formally fulfill a legal obligation – make it impossible to act effectively in emergency situations.
3
Moreover – the internal legal mess resulting from such a strategy makes it impossible to obtain various certifications that build trust in the market (for example, ISO certification).
4
Traditional B2B or employment contracts are indistinguishable to the employee. Everyone – both honest and dishonest businesses – uses similar templates. Thus, they do not build real trust.
The traditional approach to the law is a law disconnected from life.
What if legal solutions served to introduce technology instead of preventing it?
