Every CIO has his team. It usually includes a CSO, a CFO, maybe a COO and an IT staff. But where's the lawyer? These days, it's more and more important to have the advice of a lawyer--one who has the knowledge of what the IT department does. It's no longer just about the details of a contract that you may be signing. The more that a lawyer handling your contract knows what you do, the better they will be able to represent you in any kind of negotiation.
