Vivien & Associés advises French and international businesses of all sizes and across all sectors on the development and commercialization of their technology solutions and the implementation of their digital projects.
Our practice combines in-depth knowledge of the regulations governing data, AI, connected products and services, cybersecurity, cloud services and e-commerce with a thorough understanding of our clients’ technical architectures and business models. Our approach takes account of their operational constraints and commercial objectives: we prioritize risks and actions to focus efforts on the issues that matter most to their business.
We help our clients structure their contractual relationships and negotiate technology agreements covering software development and integration, licensing, maintenance, SaaS, cloud services, outsourcing, and strategic partnerships. We advise at every stage, from project design and contract negotiation through to contract management and dispute resolution.
In data protection and cybersecurity, we conduct audits, design compliance programs and support their implementation. We also advise on data sharing and use, negotiate related agreements, and assist with international data transfers and security incident management. We represent our clients in dealings with supervisory authorities and in related litigation.
We advise businesses that develop, integrate or use artificial intelligence systems on establishing appropriate frameworks for their use, safeguarding their contractual interests and meeting applicable regulatory requirements.
Our digital health expertise enables us to support public and private sector organizations with their projects and compliance with sector-specific regulations and standards. We advise in particular on AI in healthcare, the secondary use and commercialization of health data, French health data hosting certification requirements (HDS), and preparation for the application of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation.
