Proskauer’s London-based partner, Steven Baker, has co-authored one of the leading texts on IT Contracts and Dispute Management.

The thoroughly revised and expanded second edition provides an in-depth analysis of the legal issues that often 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.

The first edition of the book was well-received and proved to be an invaluable resource for both in-house counsel advising on technology project legal risk management and private practitioners advising clients striving to avoid or resolve disputes occurring from major IT projects.

Key features of the new edition include:

• Guidance on all stages of a technology project presented in the order in which they typically occur;
• Discussion of the tender process, preparation of contract terms and project delivery;
• Examination of important methods of project resuscitation when experiencing difficulty, as well as potential end-of-project issues;
• Advice on 'end of project' issues, including termination options, formal resolution of disputes and quantification of losses; and
• Discussion of key judicial decisions since the last edition in 2018, including in respect of relational contracts, good faith obligations and the UK Supreme Court’s and subsequent judgments on ‘no oral modification’ clauses with technology contracts in mind.
