Technology, Media and Entertainment

Peer Legal’s technology and media practice is driven by a belief in the economic and social benefits that smart use of technology can enable, tempered by a clear understanding of the importance that intellectual property plays in protecting the value generated by businesses, in particular technology enterprises.

From start-ups to listed entities, Peer Legal services a diverse range of technology companies as well assisting more traditional companies with their endeavours in the technology space and the protection of their intangible assets. We also have a specialty in entertainment law, having assisted in the structuring and contracting of several film productions.

​Particular areas of practice include:
  • Complex technology contracting, including outsourcing arrangements, service level agreements, digital services agreements, SaaS agreements, website and software development agreements, and escrow arrangements.
  • Privacy and data collection compliance, retention and destruction obligations, in particular the Privacy Act, Notifiable Data Breach Scheme (NDBS) and the EU's General Data Protection Regime (GDPR).
  • E-business and online transactions, including terms and conditions, privacy statements, and end-user licence agreements.
  • Consumer and competition law and regulatory obligations.
  • Domain name disputes, including auDispute Resolution Processes.

Some examples of significant work Peer Legal’s lawyers have completed in this area are:
  • Negotiating service level, digital services and software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreements with organisations such as Rio Tinto, Newcrest, Qantas, Barrick Gold and BHP Billiton on behalf of a number of technology companies.
  • Drafting of terms and conditions, including multi-platform App terms and conditions, for a high profile online weight-loss, nutrition and wellness company.
  • Drafting of film production, talent release, independent contractor and various other associated agreements for a Melbourne production company's feature-length film relating to a national self-help and personal wellbeing scheme.
