System Integration Litigation
Recent SI disputes are no longer limited to simple claims for payment or interpretation of contractual language. They increasingly involve complex and highly technical issues, including the determination of project scope, the validity of change management procedures, the completeness of deliverables, satisfaction of acceptance criteria, liquidated damages for delay, defect repair obligations, data migration failures, and allocation of responsibility during the post-go-live stabilization phase. As cloud migration, AI implementation, information security, and personal data protection issues are also becoming intertwined with SI projects, comprehensive capabilities that combine technical understanding with contract and litigation expertise have become more important than ever. Moreover, SI disputes typically require court-appointed expert review by professionals specializing in SI projects. From the selection of appropriate experts for the relevant issues to the presentation of technical explanations to those experts, such disputes require the involvement of highly specialized legal professionals throughout the litigation process.
