- Project management, renegotiations and disputes: Technology projects can be complex, and disagreements often arise along the way. We provide ongoing support throughout projects and advise on changes, delays, defects, payment claims, renegotiations and other contractual matters. We also have extensive experience with disputes relating to information technology, communications and digital services, both in and out of court.
- Technology in transactions: Technology and digital solutions are often key value drivers and areas of risk in transactions. We work closely with our Tech M&A lawyers on transactions where IT systems, technology platforms, software and supplier agreements need to be assessed.
