Technology, Media & Telecoms

In this highly specialist and fast moving sector it’s important that you have lawyers who understand your sector and your market. We have a wealth of experience working with both suppliers and customers in the TMT sector.

The TMT sector throws up some very specific issues. If you’re developing new software for example, how do you protect yourself from copyright infringement and make sure you generate the most value from your ideas? And if you’re purchasing or supplying complex communications and technology products or services it’s essential that you know that you’ve got watertight contracts.

Several of our lawyers have worked as in-house counsel within the industry. So they already have experience of the particular business challenges and legal issues you face.

The team can quickly provide you with pragmatic advice on the specific issues faced by TMT businesses. This includes advice in intellectual property, corporate finance, commercial contracts, employment and property law.

We have advised on projects that range from complex contractual issues for a multinational defence contractor to assisting a regional development agency with the establishment and governance of their new innovation networks (iNets).

We act for web developers, software houses and the technology procurement departments of national companies. We can assist you with issues that range from protecting copyright through advising on online trading to helping you successfully outsource your ICT systems.
