Due diligence in outsourcing
Due diligence in outsourcing
Practice Notes

This Practice Note introduces the importance of having proper due diligence processes when planning the outsourcing of services. It considers the key factors to be considered at each of the three suggested due diligence phases in an outsourcing project, including the customer's internal due diligence, the customer's due diligence on the supplier; and the supplier's due diligence on the proposed outsource transactions. It then considers some approaches to dealing with problems that often arise with due diligence in an outsourcing context.

IP Rights and abuse of dominance
IP Rights and abuse of dominance
Practice Notes

The exercise of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) by dominant companies can cause competition problems under Article 102, TFEU (and Member State equivalents). The dividing line between anti-competitive exclusionary conduct and ‘normal’ reliance on IPRs is explored in relation to broad categories of potential abuses. The difficulties of market definition in relation to IPRs is also assessed. Patent disputes between telecoms companies and the AstraZeneca case are detailed in the context of abuse of FRAND licensing commitments and the system of patent grant. There is also a discussion on the Microsoft case and refusal to license ‘essential facility’ IPRs and unfair licensing terms and tying.

Outsourcing agreement—long form
Outsourcing agreement—long form
Precedents

This is a precedent outsourcing agreement under which the customer appoints a supplier as an outsourced services provider. It is a long form outsourcing agreement drafted on a pro–customer basis and is suitable for use in both IT and non-IT related outsourcing transactions. For less complex transactions, the short form outsourcing agreement should be used.
