The potential effects of IT issues

Technology is crucial to the success of any business. Problems with IT and communications can have a devastating effect on operations and cause major financial losses.

Experienced lawyers in technology disputes

Our IT and telecoms litigation lawyers have extensive experience of high-value and complex technology disputes. They combine their extensive knowledge of the technology sector with a tactical understanding of how to successfully fight major litigation, to deliver outstanding results for clients.  

Major technology disputes can involve: 

• Troubled development projects with delays in completion, functionality issues, performance issues and cost overruns. We can advise on termination and renegotiation strategies, and damages claims
• Licensing disputes where software providers aggressively pursue under-licensing claims. Our lawyers have experience of defending claims where the damages sought can be many multiples of the original contract price
• Cyber security breaches, loss of data and confidentiality. This is a fast-developing area where the reputational and financial damage to businesses can be significant
