Technology

We live in an ever-changing world where innovative technologies continually test both the boundaries of business and society.

What do we do?

Our technology specialists advise on the latest market developments. Our work covers areas including:

• outsourcing and systems management;
• software development, transfer and licensing;
• software and hardware support and maintenance;
• SaaS;
• procurement of data centre related services (physical and virtual);
• domain names and website development;
• intellectual property protection for software and systems;
• disaster recovery;
• procurement projects; and
• telecommunications.

Failure to supply a technology solution – whether that is hardware, software or cloud-based – can have a significant impact on a business’ profitability, performance and reputation. Customer relationships can be damaged if a business is unable to service their needs due to a system failure.

Our team of technology lawyers are supported by experts across the group, including our IT disputes, intellectual property, commercial and IP disputes teams. Our IT disputes specialists work alongside the technology lawyers and respond proactively to find a commercial solution at the earliest stage.

Who do we help?

Our technology clients include start-up businesses, SMEs and more established corporations. We act for technology businesses as well as organisations that are users of technology.
