Technology, Licensing & Data

We support our clients with comprehensive legal advisory in demanding technology, intellectual property, and data matters.

Experts in innovative legal solutions for forward-thinking clients

We specialise in providing comprehensive legal advice on complex technology, intellectual property (IP), and data matters.

Our services cover every aspect of technology, IP, and data, from the development, deployment, and commercialisation of new technologies—including artificial intelligence—and the digitalisation of business processes, to ensuring compliance with data and technology-related regulatory requirements. We address all strategic IP aspects concerning technology and data assets, as well as commercial contracting, including IP, technology, and data licensing, carve-outs or transfers, collaborations, IT agreements, outsourcing (IT & BPO), and other business transactions related to technology, IP, and data.

We provide expert legal assistance to clients across a diverse range of industry sectors, including software and services, health technology, and financial technology (fintech). Our team is well-versed in the unique challenges and opportunities within each of these fields, offering tailored advice and solutions that meet the specific needs of businesses operating within these dynamic industries.

Our extensive experience with digital assets, such as software (including open source), data, cloud, and IoT solutions, is backed by decades of legal support both as external advisors and in-house lawyers at technology companies. We guide our clients through technology, data, and IP-intensive transactions, from the (pre) due diligence phase and negotiation of tech, IP, and data-related elements of share or asset purchase agreements, IP/IT & data carve-outs, transitional services, and other ancillary agreements, to post-closing activities. Additionally, we offer strategic legal advice to top management on technology, data, and IP-intensive businesses and assist with technology, IT/IP, and data/information-related disputes and settlement negotiations.

We are adept dealmakers who maintain a strategic overview, understanding both market standards and key control points related to IP, performance, warranty, liability, and indemnity models of complex contractual arrangements. We are also well-versed in various data and technology-related regulatory requirements that impact contractual frameworks and restrict freedom of contract.
