ContactsOverview
Whether you are a supplier or customer of technology solutions, we understand both the strategic and operational challenges and opportunities you face.
Our technology lawyers serve clients ranging from multi-national corporates and government departments, to fast-growth and scaling technology companies, as well as entrepreneurs. We specialise in navigating the complex terrain where technology, business, and law intersect. Our commercial technology, media, and intellectual property experts advise on the full spectrum of transactional deals as well as disputes, including those with complex cross-border elements.
We routinely act for national and global professional services firms on complex international technology projects, and are one of just seven firms approved to support central government departments with IT projects. If you are facing a cyber security breach, an intellectual property infringement, or other contentious issue, our dispute resolution team can offer pragmatic, considered guidance during difficult and uncertain times.
Whether you are a fast-growth disruptor, an established national business, a public or charitable body, or something in between - our professionals will provide you with tailored, actionable advice.
