Since 2024, MMR (Zeitschrift für IT-Recht und Recht der Digitalisierung) has had a new section on contractual practice in IT law, which is supervised by our colleague Christian Förster. To begin with, a somewhat longer essay on the basics and the “general part” of IT contracts in issue 1/2024 – from practice for practice. This will be followed by contributions on individual types of contracts and special cases.
