Overview

Law for a digital-first business

Technology is increasingly embedded in every stage of a business from the products and platforms through which organisations engage with customers, to the systems used to process data, deliver services and manage operations. Our Technology Law practice is designed to address the legal issues that arise across this digital ecosystem, combining commercial legal advice with technology, regulatory, privacy and intellectual property considerations.

We advise businesses on technology transactions and contracts, digital platforms, software and SaaS arrangements, data protection and privacy, cybersecurity, e-commerce, fintech and emerging technology. Our work is focused on translating complex technology arrangements into clear contractual and regulatory frameworks that are commercially workable and capable of supporting growth.

We assist organisations in building clear employment documentation, sound workplace policies and effective POSH compliance mechanisms.

Across the technology lifecycle

Our Technology Law practice can support businesses from the initial structuring of a technology arrangement through contracting, implementation, ongoing operations, compliance and eventual transition or termination. We work across technology procurement, software and SaaS arrangements, digital platforms, data-driven businesses, outsourcing, cybersecurity, fintech and emerging technologies.

A practical, business-focused approach

Technology arrangements often sit at the intersection of commercial objectives, technical architecture, intellectual property, data and regulation. Our approach is to understand the underlying business and technology model before translating the legal requirements into contracts, policies and risk allocation that are clear, commercially workable and capable of adapting as the technology or business evolves.
