What we are known for
Our truly integrated approach between the department’s non-contentious and contentious lawyers. In an IT context, disputes often occur in the context of ongoing projects and/or lead to a re-baselining of existing contractual relationships involving requiring sensitivity and non-contentious input even in dispute situations
In additional a significant part of our work involves acting for major US based software suppliers who supply software in the UK. These clients value our experience and knowledge of acting for US corporate clients, and we have built extensive knowledge and experience of working with our US clients over a number of years acting for them.
