What is TechLaw?
In TechLaw or technical law (at least) two sciences meet: engineering sciences and law. TechLaw is therefore multidisciplinary in nature. The focus on technical processes inevitably gives TechLaw a dynamic character. It is therefore particularly open to new developments, the proper assessment and evaluation of which must first and foremost be carried out by the legislature and the courts.
Technical jurisprudence is primarily responsible for the critical monitoring, systematisation and dogmatic foundation of the found technical developments. In addition, jurisprudence and legal advice are equally called upon to make the risk and design potential of the law derived from the findings available to the actual "actors of technology", namely the companies, so that the latter can avoid company-related legal risks and make better use of company-related opportunities. The service function inherent in (technical) law should be made usable.
The focus on man-made things, on the constant renewal and optimisation of the status quo makes TechLaw a "right of pragmatists", which is why it primarily represents private and commercial law. Interpreted as the right of the producing and marketing business units, it is related to corporate management and corporate law.
