Our strengths
Our core strength is our deep understanding of the technology
and communications industries. A number of our lawyers have
backgrounds in the industry and most have been seconded to clients
for extended periods of time. We believe this gives our lawyers a
key advantage in understanding the commercial issues behind the
transactions on which they advise.
Our lawyers are used to working at the cutting-edge of new
technology and business developments. We were among the first to
advise on binding corporate rules, biometrics, convergence, data
security, cloud computing, encryption, freedom of information, RFID
and social media. Our innovative work in the technology field has
been recognised by the Financial Times in its Innovative Lawyer Awards.
