From Contract to Conflict: How Can IT Businesses Structure Transactions and Come Out on Top in Disputes?
REVERA law group is holding a meet-up dedicated to protecting IT businesses at every stage of a transaction.
A practical meeting for founders, investors and lawyers: we will examine real cases and typical mistakes in structuring and supporting IT transactions.
Offline Meet-up
Registration
IT transactions operate by their own rules: flexible deadlines, service models and intellectual property all create risks that standard contracts do not cover.
At the round table, REVERA Kazakhstan experts will discuss how to structure contractual terms so as to avoid conflict — and what to do if a dispute nevertheless arises.
Two blocks: prevention through contract work and defence strategy in IT disputes.
Event format
A live discussion with practitioners: analysis of real cases, typical mistakes and workable solutions.
No academic theory — only what can be applied the very next day.
About the Event
Panel discussion format: practical value
Two expert discussion blocks on what really happens in IT contracts and IT disputes — and how to deal with it in practice.
Panel format: several experienced practitioners answer challenging questions, while the audience joins the discussion. No long presentations — only specific questions, short and concise answers, and live dialogue.
Each panel is devoted to a separate topic, allowing for a deeper focus without spreading the discussion too thin.
Who it is for
The event will be useful for those who regularly deal with IT contracts — whether on the customer side, the contractor side or as a consultant.
- These include IT directors and CTOs who sign software development agreements.
- Company lawyers and external counsel supporting IT projects.
- Founders and product managers working with contractors.
- Sectors: IT software development, fintech, IT infrastructure and IT services, e-commerce and marketplaces, to the extent they are considered IT products.
Everyone who wants to understand how to protect themselves before a dispute arises.
Value and practical focus
There will be no general statements about the importance of legal literacy.
The speakers are practising lawyers with real cases behind them. The panel format, with strict timing of no more than one minute per answer, prevents the discussion from drifting into theory. After each question, there will be an open discussion with the audience; participants can ask their own questions and receive an answer directly from an expert. This is not a lecture; it is a conversation.
What participants will take away
- An understanding of which contractual provisions truly matter and why.
- A clear picture of typical risks in IT projects and ways to reduce them.
- An action plan in case a dispute nevertheless arises.
- Knowledge of what evidence should be collected from the first day of the project.
- Answers to their specific questions from people who have already handled similar issues.
