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 a few firms approved to support central government departments with IT projects. We deal with a wide range of technology disputes, including IT project failures and implementations, software development errors, CRM, MIS, ERP and e-commerce solutions, hardware failures, software licensing and IP rights, breach of confidence procurement and outsourcing.
Identifying the legal and technical issues at hand, while recognising your business's commercial objectives, is key to resolving technology disputes quickly and efficiently. This is essential with technology contracts, where the parties frequently need to continue working together. Our depth of expertise in the industry means we have excellent contacts with specialist technology intermediaries who assist us with assessing risk and handling disputes.
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.
