Our latest article “Resolving disputes in the IT sector” by Stéphanie Beghe Sönmez and Simel Sarıalioğlu is published on Lexology.
The global information technology industry is on pace to reach USD five trillion in 2019 and as in many developed countries, the IT sector in Turkey already accounts for a significant portion of economic activities. According to data published by the Turkish Informatics Industry Association (TÜBİSAD), the Turkish IT sector has grown 19% between 2014 and 2018, to reach USD 27.4 billion.
The trend of transforming infrastructures into IT-operated systems has played a significant role in sector growth. For instance, when electricity distribution was privatised in Turkey in 2010, a major requirement the state imposed on bidders was the complete overhaul and transformation of the infrastructure into information technology-centric systems, which led to a wealth of outsourcing contracts. The more businesses rely on IT-centric operations, the more IT elements will permeate their contracts – and thus their disputes.
When it comes to overcoming disagreements between contract parties, traditional dispute resolution methods and venues may not offer adequate solutions, and the parties may thus turn to arbitration as an alternative. This article provides an overview of common IT disputes and the potential advantages of resolving them through arbitration.
