Technology disputes

We act on behalf of insurers of technology businesses to protect their insureds when claims arise. We have the expertise and resource to defend the largest, most complex disputes.

We understand the potentially devastating impact that even small claims can have on technology start-ups and SMEs, and we have a wealth of experience on which to draw to help minimise that impact.  

We defend claims arising from allegations of failure to meet contractual obligations through to disputes involving alleged intellectual property infringement.

We combine our insurance expertise with resource and experience from our leading information technology and intellectual property practices, which advise some of the UK’s most successful technology businesses.  

Our team is regularly instructed to advise and represent insurers in relation to policy coverage.
