TECHNOLOGY
SECTOR LAWYERS

Behind every significant transformation there is huge potential, but the pathway to meaningful change is often complex and pitted. There are sizeable risks to contend with, such as reputational damage, share price decline, stakeholder buy in, technology and regulatory change. Then the myriad details, from negotiating critical supply chain agreements to liabilities.

We support clients with the full lifecycle of technology transactions, from drafting and negotiating complex IT and outsourcing agreements to advising on cloud services, SaaS, licensing, and data-sharing arrangements.

Our team combines deep sector knowledge with commercial and regulatory expertise to structure deals that mitigate risk and maximize value. We regularly assist with cross-border technology projects, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships, ensuring compliance with data protection, cybersecurity, and intellectual property requirements.

Whether negotiating a major outsourcing contract, advising on agreements for deployment of AI, or managing technology procurement for digital transformation, we deliver practical, business-focused solutions that enable innovation while safeguarding enterprise resilience.

We provide comprehensive cybersecurity support to help clients prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber threats such as attacks, data breaches, and cross-border data disputes. Our multi-disciplinary team combines legal, technical, and strategic expertise to deliver breach detection, rapid incident response, regulatory notifications, and investigations.

We advise on compliance, reputation management, and insurance coverage, and offer tailored training including crisis simulations. 

With international reach and cutting-edge technology, we ensure seamless support across jurisdictions, whether managing a major breach, coordinating regulatory engagement, or strengthening resilience through proactive risk assessments.

Global demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, and data centres have become an important part of the backbone of the technology sector. 

From hyperscale cloud environments to edge computing sites, the success of many technology-driven businesses now relies on secure, scalable, and sustainable data centre strategies. Our legal support offers integrated, cross-sector expertise that aligns the operational, regulatory, and commercial realities of the tech industry with the unique demands of data centre projects.

Our technology lawyers work closely with clients across software, cloud services, e-commerce, AI, and other innovation-led fields to address legal challenges tied to data processing, infrastructure resilience, and service delivery. Whether advising a global tech firm on multi-jurisdictional outsourcing or negotiating SLAs for mission-critical systems, we ensure that every layer of your digital architecture is underpinned by robust legal frameworks. This includes navigating data sovereignty, cybersecurity risk, ESG compliance, and energy procurement strategies.

Intellectual Property
We ensure your IP has a competitive advantage in its market, and we achieve this through our specialist expertise and jurisdictions across our trade mark attorneys and solicitors, always led by the bespoke brand strategy and never encouraging legal spend unless it aligns with that strategy.

Our traditional IP services include trade mark and design filing and prosecution, support with commercial contracts, corporate due diligence, and contentious advisory work (including litigation in a variety of specialist forums). In addition, we also offer new and thoughtful options to protect key intangible assets and their value and will create a suitable approach for any unusual projects (e.g. restructuring; tax efficiencies) a company may require help with.

IT Outsourcing, and Business Process Outsourcing are both major areas on which we advise, with particular experience on advising large corporate entities on deals with a global footprint. Our team is renowned for its customer focussed practice (we do not tend to advise on the supplier side).

We have experience of first and later generation outsourcing and each brings challenges to ensure that the business benefit sought by the customer is delivered by the supplier.

We assist clients in managing risks and resolving disputes that could compromise their technology, data security, and operational stability. Our global team includes experienced litigators, arbitrators, and mediators ready to safeguard your interests and uphold your legal rights. We provide guidance across a wide range of technology-related disputes and support tech providers in handling customer relationships and managing claims processes.

Whether you're aiming to resolve risk and conflict, maintain the integrity and security of your existing systems, or drive IT-enabled transformation, we help you protect critical assets while enhancing business operations and customer experience.
