Technology Disputes

With any technology project in distress, early dispute resolution input at the first sign of trouble is crucial. This requires sector-specific expertise.

Our team of technology dispute resolution specialists know the market, and understand the technical and commercial issues that drive it, so we can focus on the issues at hand straight away rather than play catch up.

For clients, this means they receive comprehensive support from lawyers who are truly in-the-know and can anticipate change. These factors can make all the difference in a dispute.

Why choose our Technology Disputes lawyers?

Our team stands out in the market because we can lend our support to all kinds of disputes. We commonly advise on issues such as injunctive relief, termination, contractual dispute resolution strategies, scope redefinition, insolvency and re-procurement obligations. 

Data security has become a huge issue in the tech sector, but our clients benefit from leading expertise in data disputes, combining elements of traditional IP, technology and contentious advisory work.

We know that for clients, disputes are a last resort. This is why we promote the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, in particular mediation. If a dispute does escalate, we have substantial expertise in all types of dispute resolution procedures, including litigation in the High Court, arbitration, adjudication and expert determination.

We aim to identify a cost estimate and agree a strategy at the outset of a dispute, to ensure we remain focused on the commercial imperatives.
