Your challenges
IT and telecom systems are a key enabler for businesses in all sectors. Whether as a supplier or customer, it is important that your lawyers understand the technology well enough to advise on the issues that may affect you. Our enthusiasm for technology, and making it work for you, means that we are driven to ensure that the legal input leads to a successful IT implementation.
Achieving your ambitions
We advise on all aspects of IT and telecoms, from drafting a standard software licence, through to advising on a major strategic outsourcing. We advise suppliers, from leading technology plcs to niche software vendors with an international outlook. Our customer client base includes plcs, government departments and industry regulators.
Acting for suppliers and customers on IT and telecom transactions means that we know the issues that are key to both parties, and we use this knowledge to benefit you in negotiations.
The range of technology projects we have advised on enables us to advise broadly on not just the legal points, but also the commercial and practical issues which are frequently key to the success of an IT and telecoms project.
The strength you need
We have a large and growing team of lawyers specialising in IT and telecoms work. Our team is capable of handling multimillion-pound substantial and urgent outsourcing and software development projects, but we are also able to cost effectively deliver advice on one-off licensing or support transactions.
Clients that we have advised in this area include the Financial Services Authority, Aviva plc, NHS Direct and AVEVA plc.
Lawyers you can trust
Our work has led to our team being widely recognised in the legal directories. Legal 500 confirms that we have “the region’s largest specialised technology team”, and includes a client comment that we offer “excellent legal advice at a reasonable cost”. Chambers UK includes a comment on our “sound legal advice with a quick, efficient response time”.
