Technology

Our international team of technology lawyers have been advising on technology-related transactions for over two decades. We are experts in the full range of technology contracts including:

• software licensing and support including for AI technology, and platform solutions;
• hardware procurement and maintenance including for machine to machine products;
• IaaS, PaaS and SaaS cloud deals;
• data centre services (including hosting services);
• back-up arrangements and disaster recovery, whether cold-site, split-site or hot-site;
• website and app development;
• website and app terms and conditions; and
• advising on Apple and Google app store terms and conditions.

Acting for both buyers and suppliers, we appreciate the economic drivers, security issues and the business context in which legal and commercial issues arise. We also understand the various technology development models, from “waterfall” through to the different forms of “agile” development. This knowledge and understanding means we are well-positioned to anticipate the issues that will arise, advise on those issues effectively, and achieve successful outcomes for our clients.

We represent organisations operating in the Asset Management and Investment Funds, Financial Institutions, TMT and Life Sciences sectors and specialise in complex and critical technology projects in these highly regulated sectors.
