Contracts form the backbone of commercial relationships, setting out rights, obligations, and apportioning risk when things go wrong. Liability, who’s responsible for loss and to what extent, is a critical focus in technology agreements.

Australian liability law is complex and evolving, with careful drafting and proactive risk management essential as legal and business environments shift. That’s why we’ve launched the first instalment in our Technology Law Masterclass Series – Liability in Technology Agreements: Evolving Risks and Evolving Approaches.

This release covers key legal principles, common contract terms, and risk strategies within Australia’s legal framework, providing practical guidance for technology providers, legal teams, and clients.

Our experienced Technology Law team can assist customers and vendors or technology solutions with tailored advice and strategies to optimise your position in IT contracting, including in relation to liability.

If you would like any technology law assistance, or have any questions or comments on this release, please contact Technology Special Counsel Nick Martin.
