Technology

Technology is fundamental to modern life. It fosters efficiency, innovation, and connectivity, catalysing leaps in healthcare, finance, insurance, retail and logistics, research and development, the creative and performing arts and beyond. Our national technology team is one of the largest in the UK and is comprised of transactional lawyers as well as litigators. We pair industry knowledge with technological expertise to help you achieve your goals.

Overview

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.
