Information Technology & Outsourcing

About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills

Our experience advising technology and technology-enabled companies, users of technology, and investors focused on technology gives us deep understanding of the relationships, opportunities, risks and strategies involved in the market. We are thought leaders and anticipate and respond to and advise our clients on the effect and legal and regulatory implications of the adoption and exploitation of new technologies and technology enabled delivery models.

As technology is increasingly driving innovation in other sectors, in particular energy, infrastructure, transport and financial services, we use our extensive global expertise in those sectors to help our clients adjust to that innovation.

We support our clients with technology in its widest sense, including data, digitisation of assets, data analytics and exploitation of data as a strategic corporate asset, artificial intelligence, robotics, internet of things, blockchain, drones, smart infrastructure, transport and cities, and augmented and virtual reality.

We also offer fully-integrated advice on technology mergers and acquisitions, investments, tax, employment, regulation, competition, telecommunications, data protection and privacy, cyber security and outsourcing to support all of our clients' technology related activities.
