Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Pinsent Masons boasts highly-capable teams throughout the UK which bring considerable skill to a myriad of transactional and contentious areas. The law firm’s sector-driven international expansion from London has seen it establish highly rated offices in jurisdictions including Spain, Germany, China and Singapore. Pinsent Masons’ UK offering frequently handles cross-border mandates arising from the technology and life sciences sectors.

The law firm's appeal in technology work is built around the strength of its IT and outsourcing practice in the UK, which has proved adept at handling cross-border issues as well as a consistent flow of domestic work. It has also worked with international web services companies on complex, global regulatory matters, including 'right to be forgotten' privacy law cases and GDPR. The firm's strong client base in the banking sector has also seen the team handling issues relating to the use of data and web services in the financial sector.
