juridischtechnische

Juridischtechnische is a Dutch compound adjective describing the domain where legal and technical considerations intersect. It refers to concepts, processes, and documents that require both legal expertise and technical understanding, such as contract terms for IT projects, privacy impact assessments with technical safeguards, and compliance audits of software systems.

The term combines juridisch (legal) and technisch (technical). In Dutch, hyphenation is common for compound adjectives used before a noun, so juridisch-technische is frequently preferred, though some texts may present the form juridischtechnische.

Applications of the term occur in contexts such as documentation, analyses, and requirements that integrate legal obligations with technical specifications. Examples include juridisch-technische documentatie or juridisch-technische toelichting, where both legal and technical details must be explained or validated.

In practice, the field covers areas such as data protection, cybersecurity, software licenses, product safety standards, and procurement procedures, where legal compliance must be demonstrated by technical measures. Challenges include bridging vocabulary between lawyers and engineers and avoiding ambiguities in multilingual or cross-border projects.

The concept is primarily used in Dutch-language contexts, with parallel English-language discussions around legal tech and regulatory technology.
