Scaling a tech business is rarely straightforward, and often involves overcoming a number of challenges along the way. We have a very long track record of helping tech businesses – big and small – to close deals, launch their offerings and move into new markets. While no two tech businesses are exactly the same, because our team has seen the challenges that can arise, we can help you to avoid or navigate them.

We bring together teams of lawyers with the necessary sectoral experience and technical expertise to ensure that each deal or assignment goes as smoothly as possible – whether that’s advising on venture capital funding, M&A activity, incentive arrangements, key contracts or international brand protection. Our lawyers understand the commercial drivers and have the experience to foresee potential issues before they arise – because we succeed when our clients do, and we have a decades-long track record of helping our clients to do just that.

Our expertise includes:

  • Start-ups, scale-ups and venture capital
  • Private equity
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Collaborations and joint ventures
  • Corporate tax
  • Equity incentives
  • Employment and immigration
  • Data protection and privacy
  • Intellectual property and brand protection
  • Competition and regulatory advice
  • Commercial contracts
  • All other “go to market” matters
