Technology
Serving the technological community is core to our
practice. That’s why we have grown to be one of the best
known law firms in the field with around 25 lawyers focused
entirely on commercial information technology.
We are ranked as one of the leading technology firms in the
country by Chambers UK and The Legal
500.
Those who work with us call us “technology savvy”, “efficient
and focused” and The Legal 500 says we have a “strong
reputation in this area”.
We act for both users and suppliers, including government
departments, and multi-nationals, foreign owned businesses and
start-ups to create the best commercial solutions for our
clients.
We have experience of project managing larger deals such as
assisting on procurement issues and advising on negotiations. We
also provide ad hoc advice or contract reviews on smaller
agreements.
Many of our lawyers across Europe have originated from the
industry or have gained invaluable experience through secondments
to technology sector clients. They frequently work with new
technologies in unchartered territory. We have advised on
RFID, biometrics, encryption, IT security, convergence and
Sarbanes-Oxley and always remain at the cutting-edge of business
developments.
Through ecomlex, we provide a specialist
range of technology law services across Europe, through a single
point of contact.
