Moreover, JUVE stresses KANZLEI DR. ERBEN’s focus on IT procurement law as well as on IT outsourcing contracts. JUVE refers to the fact that KANZLEI DR. ERBEN performs its legal services as outsourced legal department to a Stuttgart based worldwide leading medium-sized technology company. Finally, JUVE emphasizes KANZLEI DR.
