Launch of 'IT Dispute Prevention Service (ProITAS)' Integrating Expertise of IT Consultants, Lawyers, and Administrative Scriveners

Bizolve Consulting Co., Ltd. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Atsushi Kihira), M&F Partners Law Office (Lawyer Tomoyuki Tanabe), and FREE&ORDER Administrative Scrivener Office (Administrative Scrivener Toshiaki Ebata) officially launched the IT dispute prevention service by the expert alliance team 'ProITAS' (Professional IT Alliance for Smarter Development) on May 18, 2026.

This service integrates the specialized knowledge of IT consultants, lawyers, and administrative scriveners into a single team. It aims to prevent conflicts early by comprehensively diagnosing and addressing risks associated with corporate IT system development and procurement.

Background Disputes related to corporate IT, such as system development failures, vendor conflicts, and copyright/contractual issues, are increasing annually. These troubles pose significant management risks for both clients and contractors, yet many can be avoided with preemptive measures. However, traditional consulting channels have been siloed into 'legal,' 'technical,' and 'intellectual property' domains, lacking a unified structure to handle complex issues. To comprehensively cover development risks invisible from a purely legal perspective and contractual pitfalls missed from a technical viewpoint, the three parties with different areas of expertise formed a team.

Service Details ProITAS cross-diagnoses risks related to IT system development and operation from the perspectives of both clients and contractors. It focuses on the following four core services:

1. Preliminary Risk Diagnosis and Preventive Measure Planning Analyzing risks from contractual, technical, and structural aspects before project commencement to formulate preventive measures.

2. Contract Review and Drafting Support Drafting and reviewing contracts covering IT-specific points (e.g., requirements definition, specification changes) to prevent troubles.

3. Intellectual Property Protection and Rights Support Organizing copyrights for source code and UI, and addressing IP issues related to OSS licenses and generative AI.

4. Project Management System Construction Building a management system to prevent misalignments with vendors and appropriately control quality, cost, and delivery time.

Free Web Risk Diagnosis and Future Outlook Before formal consultation, companies can take a free risk diagnosis via the website and receive a simplified risk report. Based on these results, optimal support plans, such as spot consulting or continuous advisory contracts, are proposed. The service targets mid-sized companies, startups, and contracting firms involved in system development.
