Our specialist IT team provides high quality, transactional and regulatory advice to clients in the sector.

The team has an in-depth understanding of IT on a technical level, with members of the team having either worked in industry or spent extended periods on secondment to clients in the sector. This means that we have the rare ability to provide quality legal advice coupled with a pragmatic understanding of the requirements of business. 

Our experience also extends to advising clients on troubled IT projects to determine whether they can be successfully salvaged, recognising that the last place clients want to end up is in court or arbitration.  If however, court action is unavoidable, we will provide clear advice on the merits of a claim and guide you through the proceedings. 

Our clients include buyers and suppliers of technology, related hardware and services across a wide range of industries.

We can help you with:

  • Outsourcing of IT operations
  • Software supply and licensing issues
  • Systems implementation
  • Internet / e-business regulation
  • Data protection issues
  • IPTV and digital media
  • Establishing alliances between suppliers of hardware and services
  • Structuring and funding young and expanding IT companies
  • IT and systems related disputes
