Technology

We have an impressive track record of guiding clients through the legal implications of technological change.

The impact of the digital age on both rights exploitation and rights protection means – with national boundaries no longer having the importance they once enjoyed – that content deals and rights infringement cases, must frequently be considered in a global context. Monetising both new content and existing catalogue in fresh and creative ways is critical to rights owners maximising revenue streams.

Our team is multidisciplinary, with experience in technology transactions and transformation projects, telecommunications, M&A and investments, strategic sourcing, data privacy, finance, fintech, capital markets, dispute resolution, intellectual property, regulatory, and tax meaning that we are always able to bring together the most highly specialised team to execute your matters successfully.
