Our team is consistently praised by both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for its strengths in this area, with the team having been involved in some of the most significant cases to affect this area in recent years. 

Our contractual technology disputes practice has handled some of the most complex technology disputes in this jurisdiction, including what is believed to be the highest value technology arbitration to have proceeded to a final arbitration hearing. The practice handles disputes relating to IT implementation projects, software licensing, outsourcing agreements and general commercial issues within the IT industry.
