Hyphen? [it law, it-law/it network, it-network]

I need to write a text in which i use the words it law and it network. I'm not sure, if i should put a hyphen in-between the words [for example: it-law, it-network].
can anyone tell me how its done right and according to which orthography-rule?
thank you
