Our Technology subsector advises high growth and established technology companies at every stage of development, from scaling businesses to global market leaders.
We support clients across the full technology lifecycle, including AI and machine learning, software and SaaS, data driven businesses, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. Our work spans transactions, investment, regulation, IP, commercial arrangements, disputes, and strategic risk.
We know you live and breathe the technology industry, and so do we. We’ve got one of the largest technology legal teams in the world, we’ve won numerous awards, and we’ve even helped write legislation and government guidance.
Our lawyers have spent time in-house at technology companies and have the technical and scientific knowledge that will keep your business at the cutting edge. You’ll get a rounded, global view of incoming regulations and market challenges that will keep your products and services ahead of the curve.
You’ll also get common sense and pragmatism - we want to become a trusted part of your business, and vice versa. Relationships are vital to us - we’ll obsess over you and help you make the most of the new opportunities that come up all the time in this sector. We’ll guide you on how best to face the market with your products and services, and prepare you for the potential sales, mergers, and acquisitions that are coming down the line.
We’ll help you with the unexpected challenges that can come up, country to country - which might be to do with intellectual property, tax, patents, HR, or trade - but we’ve also got the big-picture experience too. We’ve guided the biggest in the business through 60-country projects on new international laws. Zoom in or out, and we’ve got the eye for detail that will help your business thrive.
