Information Technology/Communications in London

We have a very substantial and enduring practice in the field of information technology and communications law. We are independently rated as one of a small number of premier IT law practices in the UK. We represent a broad mix of users and suppliers of information and communication technology products and services.

Our focus is on supporting clients on the lifecycle of complex transactions, from the initial structure, to closing the deal, avoiding and resolving problems and if necessary using formal dispute processes.

Our approach is to provide responsive, commercially pragmatic advice and solutions, with a team of lawyers who have in-depth experience of the legal and technological issues that can arise.

We also specialise in dispute resolution of technology disputes. This includes experience not just of litigation and arbitration but also of alternative dispute resolution.

We also have a leading communications practice. We have been advising new entrants and incumbent telecommunications operators in a wide range of contractual and regulatory issues since the deregulation of the telecommunications industry.
