We advise our clients as they harness the power and adapt to the impact of technology for their businesses. We work with our clients at all stages of technology creation, investment, implementation, use and monetisation.
Our experience advising technology and technology-enabled companies, users of technology, and investors focused on technology gives us deep understanding of the relationships, opportunities, risks and strategies involved in the market. We are thought leaders and anticipate and respond to and advise our clients on the effect and legal and regulatory implications of the adoption and exploitation of new technologies and technology enabled delivery models.
As technology is increasingly driving innovation in other sectors, in particular energy, infrastructure, transport and financial services, we use our extensive global expertise in those sectors to help our clients adjust to that innovation.
We regularly advise on:
- legal constructs that foster and support the creation, acquisition and use of technology, including technology licensing and associated technology exploitations arrangements and agreements
- identifying and managing risks in the development, deployment, use, sale or procurement of technology (including cloud, shared platform and multi-tenancy solutions), including advising on long-term technology agreements
- technology collaboration, services and systems integration projects, including the design and negotiation of multi-supplier environments and associated contractual arrangements
- expanding businesses into multiple segments and markets
- legal and regulatory environments and frameworks relating to technology and related ecosystems, including the impact of technology, telecommunications, data, cyber, financial services and other sector-specific regulations
- assessing the value and risk in technology assets
- shaping and protecting processes for data collection, licensing-in, use, manipulation and monetisation
- early identification and management of potential technology-related disputes
We support our clients with technology in its widest sense, including data, digitisation of assets, data analytics and exploitation of data as a strategic corporate asset, artificial intelligence, robotics, internet of things, blockchain, drones, smart infrastructure, transport and cities, and augmented and virtual reality.
We also offer fully-integrated advice on technology mergers and acquisitions, investments, tax, employment, regulation, competition, telecommunications, data protection and privacy, cyber security and outsourcing to support all of our clients' technology related activities.
