Managing tech related risks

This can include everything from relying on us to support procurement processes, such as vendor selection, contract drafting, negotiation and post contract support – through to structuring complex IT transactions, delivering large-scale outsourcing projects, or complying with data privacy requirements - so companies can benefit from technologies such as cloud-based solutions, AI and blockchain.

Dispute resolution

Disputes are inevitable in complex technology environments, but our lawyers are well-versed in managing and minimising their financial, operational and reputational impact. We have experience of resolving disputes relating to IT contracts including termination, software implementation, outsourcing, cloud services, licensing, cybersecurity, and disputes arising from the misuse of data.

Acquiring or investing in tech businesses

If you are buying or investing in a technology business, we have a proven track record of ensuring that deals run smoothly. Transactions in the technology sector form the largest portion of deals we do across the firm.

Helping specialist tech businesses

We work with founders, Boards, CFOs, and management teams of technology businesses to provide them with the all-important advice they need as they scale. 

Managing ongoing tech operations

We support procurement and operational teams with the ongoing legal aspects of keeping technology infrastructure running - including licence renewals, solution changes and dealing with the impact of a business's evolution of its existing tech estate. Most recently, that work has also been driven by our clients transforming their customer experience, deploying AI in their business, driving cost efficiency and scalability, navigating complex integration challenges, leveraging data more effectively, and protecting themselves against cyber threats.

We help make technology deliver for your business, and we help technology businesses work for their clients – now and going forward.

Whatever is driving your business's use of technology - whatever your ambitions with it - whatever your role in deploying, supplying or investing in it – and whatever legal barriers stand in the way of progress – our Tech Group can help you find and protect a commercial path forward.

Your Tech Ambition. Accomplished.
