We advise on a variety of IT and technology transactions, from the provision of transmission infrastructure and cable/satellite networks to the development and exploitation of e-commerce, software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and cloud computing solutions. We assist customers and suppliers in the acquisition and supply of hardware and IT systems, contracts for the development, licensing and support of software and service level arrangements. We can help with the establishment of distribution or reseller arrangements. We also advise on arrangements for the use and exploitation of data.

Our work is not sector specific. Our recent work includes projects in banking and finance, healthcare, social media, sport, marine safety, retail and food and beverages.

Our client base is diverse. We advise one of the largest international providers of smart cards and cash handling systems in relation to their supply and licensing agreements with banks and telecommunications operators.

We act for a leading US listed multinational information technology, consulting and business process outsourcing company negotiating high value, complex contracts with their subcontractors and clients including banks, government departments, multi-national retail groups, healthcare bodies and leading technology and software companies.

We regularly advise a major sports broadcast production company on technology and facilities procurement, including the recent acquisition of global fibre network services to facilitate the broadcast and transmission of sports events around the world.
We also advise tech start-ups in relation to the many different issues they face. We prepare standard agreements to protect and capture the intellectual property resulting from the creative efforts of those involved in the development process, confidentiality and NDA agreements, joint venture and shareholder agreements and we support small businesses in their dealings with financiers, partners and customers. We recently acted for a Med-Tech start up in the negotiation and establishment of a collaboration agreement for a government grant funded innovative healthcare systems project.
