Helping you navigate complex technology projects

Technology and outsourcing projects often involve multiple layers of contracts, risk allocation, and shifting technical requirements. Our team brings legal expertise and commercial understanding to ensure your agreements are robust, scalable, and future-proofed.

We act for both suppliers and customers across the technology, media and telecoms (TMT) sector as well as businesses that rely heavily on technology for service delivery, internal systems or customer engagement.

Outsourcing agreements

We advise on the drafting, negotiation and review of outsourcing contracts, helping clients manage risk and secure key commercial terms. We regularly support multi-million pound projects, including those in the defence and security sectors.

Technology procurement and integration

Our team supports the procurement of technology solutions, including integration into your operations and ongoing support or maintenance arrangements; particularly under the “service integration” model.

Software development agreements

We advise on software development contracts, whether under traditional waterfall models or agile methodologies, ensuring clarity around deliverables, timelines, and ownership of IP.

Licensing and distribution

We handle the commercial, legal, and strategic issues around licensing and distribution of software and technology products, including drafting and negotiating licensing agreements.

Cloud services and SaaS

We advise on cloud-based solutions, including Software as a Service (SaaS) models. With strong experience in this growing area, we help clients navigate risk, compliance, and contractual complexity in the cloud.

Intellectual property and technology transfers

We advise on technology transfers, IP licensing, and the assignment of patents and know-how. We ensure you protect and retain ownership of any IP created during your technology projects, including by third parties.

Data protection and regulatory compliance

We help clients ensure their outsourcing contracts meet data protection and cybersecurity obligations, including under the UK GDPR. Missteps here can lead to serious legal and financial risks.

Contract re-negotiation and amendments

Our team supports contract updates and variations, maintaining core structures while introducing new terms where needed. This approach limits disruption and reflects commercial changes without unnecessary legal overhauls.

Software licensing strategy

We help clients assess whether to license software and advise on drafting clear and enforceable agreements to maximise commercial value while maintaining control over IP.

E-commerce and digital services

We support businesses delivering services online, including those operating in e-commerce, media, and platform-based models, ensuring contracts and terms of use are fit for purpose.

Software disputes and enforcement

We act in software licensing disputes, including counterfeit software and unauthorised use. Our experience ranges from negotiation to litigation, depending on the nature and severity of the issue.
