A growing technology and communications sector is fundamental to ensuring social and economic development. Constantly evolving technology, however, requires vigilant scrutiny of new security concerns and regulatory developments. That’s when companies need a law firm that has an in-depth understanding of the sector and the legal expertise to address potential commercial threats and ensure regulatory compliance.

Pule Incorporated is well-equipped to assist technology and communications companies, as well as corporates, the public sector and regulatory authorities to deal with issues as they arise.

The firm acts on behalf of various information technology support companies and attends to the drafting of service level agreements, as well as contracts for all major ICT areas, including escrow, technology design, data storage, verification, website consulting, technology support, business continuity, broadcasting, signal distribution, copyright and related aspects of ICT law. We have also assisted clients regarding internet security concerns.
