Why choose our Technology Disputes lawyers?
Our team stands out in the market because of our capacity to
advise on all kinds of technology 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,
and our clients benefit from leading expertise in data disputes, combining
elements of traditional IP, technology and contentious advisory work.
We also provide clients with cutting-edge tools to help them
manage major technology-related issues and risks, including data breaches for
which we offer our Fieldfisher
Data Breach Manager service.
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.
