Whether you run a ‘technology sector’ business; a business arising from or centred around technology; or whether you are simply a user of technology; our Technology Disputes team can assist you in resolving contentious issues of all kinds.
As a Firm, we have substantial experience in resolving commercial disputes for technology-centred businesses, including contractual disputes, negligence claims, ‘economic tort’ claims, civil fraud claims, shareholder disputes, and disputes arising out of the sale of such businesses.
Working closely with our commercial technology lawyers and applying the Firm’s substantial technology sector expertise, we can also assist in resolving disputes concerning or arising out of the development and application of technology itself; for example, disputes relating to IT outsourcing deals; software development and licensing; and adtech.
As a Firm, we also have substantial experience in resolving contentious IP issues of all kinds and a designated contentious IP team, with whom our commercial disputes lawyers work alongside on a daily basis.
Whatever the nature of your dispute, you can be sure that we will take the time to understand your priorities and objectives, and to devise the right strategic approach for you and your business, drawing on our many years’ experience of conducting complex, technical litigation (in the High Court, including the TCC and the Commercial Court) and ADR (including Arbitration, Expert Determination and Mediation).
