Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Mayer Brown is a full-service global outfit which brings considerable transatlantic expertise to a broad spectrum of matters, particularly those relating to capital markets and financing. Mayer Brown’s Chicago office functions as a key hub in the USA for its highly rated cross-border transactional practice, while offering substantial knowledge to clients from the energy sector. The firm’s capabilities from both the UK and the USA are enhanced by a network of offices stationed in major financial centres worldwide.

The law firm's operation internationally is typically full-service; however, the firm's strong following among global financial institutions has developed a strong work stream within the firm related to financial technology, and it is commonly engaged in tech-related work typically for clients in other industries. Chiefly built around a highly rated global outsourcing practice, the law firm handles a wide range of cross-border projects, restructuring IT services for large global banks and acting on IT infrastructure projects for foreign governments and telecoms businesses. Recent work has seen US-based lawyers lead or act on matters in conjunction with colleagues in Brazil, the UK, Germany and China.
