We have particular strength in the technology sector, and we advise clients across Fintech, software and IT, digital media, med-tech and life sciences, telecoms, start-ups, education and university spinouts. 

We have extensive experience in advising companies on the legal, regulatory, contractual, and commercial aspects that arise on both the supply-side and end-user/demand-side. By identifying the key commercial issues and the right strategic approach, we ensure that you are contracting with the other party on the best terms possible. 

Our services include joint ventures, collaborations and strategic alliances, outsourcings and major contracts, software licensing and distribution, end-user licence agreements, digital media and entertainment arrangements, terms of supply and purchase, data protection and privacy, and financial regulatory matters.
