We have the technology
Technology touches every organisation. The right technology, implemented smoothly, complying with regulations and with supplier and client protected, is often the difference between commercial success and failure.
Ensuring this for both technology providers and their clients is the specialism of William Sturges’ Technology business group. Our combined legal and sector expertise ensures we can provide appropriate, commercially aware advice based on knowing the industry, the pitfalls and the jargon.
For companies commissioning and rolling out new technology, we’re here to limit the risk of contract delivery failure and to ensure suppliers are committed to provide their requirements. Well-constructed contracts based on a sound balance between protection and commercial needs are absolutely vital. We also advise on important issues such as data protection, online trading law and consumer complaint management.
IT providers turn to us to meet their own contractual requirements. They also need support upfront to ensure their liabilities are managed, their supply chain can meet their needs and licensing and distribution deals are structured appropriately. Outsourcing creates special contract requirements too.
Intellectual property is an area in which technology sector know-how is essential. We work with clients to understand their digital IP assets, their commercial potential, where and how they need protecting, protecting valuable background IP and balancing this with meeting anti-trust requirements and working with open-source elements.
Deterring infringement is far better than having to implement injunctions or recovery, and with the right initial advice this can be achieved. Of course, enforcement can become necessary in any of the areas discussed and it pays to have the William Sturges team behind you to resolve disputes where they arise.
