Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border) - USA
What the Team is Known For
Technology companies and investment portfolios focused on the industry represent a significant portion of the firm's clients, and the team, spread across its US offices, is highlighted for its impressive understanding of the technical details and customs of the sector. The law firm's international activity sees it advising on global transactions and acquisitions, consolidation of cross-border IT and application services and outsourcing deals. It is also involved with the developing fintech sector. The team represents a mixture of US-centred clients and foreign entities, with recent matters seeing the US team doing IP and transactional work on cross-border issues involving Japan, Korea and China.
Strengths
We were faced with tricky trademark work and the Perkins team introduced a number of innovative strategies in the US and internationally to maximise protection.
The work that Perkins Coie team does is global and when they don't have a particular area or regional expertise, there are others within the firm that they call upon to support who do.
