Technology

We’re the technology lawyers tech companies trust.

Technology is fundamental to almost every organisation. With years of experience in advising technology suppliers and their customers, we see the opportunities and challenges that come with technology transactions.

We understand contracting in the tech sector and intellectual property. And we know what you should consider before mergers and acquisitions or agreeing investment deals involving technology companies.

How we help

Data privacy. Intellectual property licensing. Employment status. These are just a few of the legal issues you need to grapple with when you buy or sell new technology – and we’ve been involved in some of the most high-profile cases in all of them.

We’ve helped tech companies merge and advised on crowd-funding and other investment deals. And we’ve turned tech-world jargon into practical advice for clients looking to invest in different technology.

Many of our clients are technology suppliers in systems development and integration, software licensing and SAAS, web-based services and platforms, managed services, outsourcing, hardware supply and data licensing.

The rest want to use this technology in their own organisations. We help them understand the possible risks with contracts, licences, IP and so on, and how to minimise them.

Very responsive and knowledgeable team
