We live in a world driven by technology. The tech sector is evolving on a daily basis, transforming how businesses operate and the way people work.
Our team are at the forefront of the sector, working with innovative businesses, from start-ups to SMEs to multinational organisations. We have years of experience advising clients and working in the technology and digital sectors.
In addition to the expertise of a full-service law firm, our team includes patent agents, trade mark attorneys and intellectual property valuation experts, who are able to work with our lawyers in a seamless way to help you with all aspects of your relationship with technology through all stages in the life of your business.
We can support you in buying, selling, identifying, protecting, and exploiting your technology. We can advise how to meet your legal obligations in respect of data managed by your technology, and help you manage disputes to a successful outcome.
We are able to help you raise capital to continue your growth, advise you on investing in technology and help you manage an exit, all in a tax-efficient manner.
Business start-ups
While incredibly rewarding, starting a business can also be full of challenges. You need advisers who not only partner with you, but think in the same way. That’s why we adapt our approach to commercial and technology arrangements to best suit each stage of your individual journey – to minimise any potential risks and to maximise successful commercial outcomes.
Customers
Due to our understanding of the tech sector, we work with customers looking to buy tech products and services to help them agree commercial contracts with suppliers that meet their requirements and give them protection should their needs change during the term of a contract.
Suppliers
As a technology company, the speed of innovation and change moves faster than ever before. Our tech sector team has the experience and resource to flex to support changes within your business. We understand the need to protect your business, both through protecting your IP and via securing commercially-viable contracts with clients.
Investors
Investors need to have a plan in mind for any investment they make. Once a business they have invested in is mature, then its strategic focus shifts. We advise investors, including private equity backers, on initial investment, transition and exit. We understand the key risk areas and legal and contractual pitfalls which technology-rich businesses may encounter and can help mitigate and resolve issues before they become problems.
