About

Provided by Harper Macleod LLP

Our Information Technology team's strength and depth in public sector procured IT/ICT contracts is second to none, as evidenced by our roster of public sector and third sector clients for whom we act on such matters. We have many years' experience and understand well the particular challenges facing public and third sectors in the current climate as well as the key role played by technology in enabling secure, resilient, efficient and cost effective working practices.

The pressure on the public sector to continue to deliver services in a climate of financial constraint is well documented and the demands on technology to drive efficiency have become ever more pressing. Our team's years of experience mean that we have a keen understanding of the particular challenges facing the public sector and are well placed to advise accordingly.

We are the only practice in Scotland to have three partners who are “Law Society of Scotland accredited specialists in Intellectual Property and Law Society of Scotland certified specialists in Cyber Security”.

With over 20 years’ experience of national and international outsourcing, covering a variety of sectors including mobile telecommunication, financial services, food and drink, media and leisure in cross border transactions, we have a unique and in-depth understanding of the commercial and legal issues of implementation, structuring and negotiation facing our clients in transactions of this nature.
