IT disputes


Our IT disputes team is one of the few in the UK which can lay claim to a true specialism in resolving disputes in the information technology sector.

We represent clients in relation to a broad range of IT related disputes. What makes us unique is our ability to draw upon market leading expertise across key disciplines including:

  • Commercial litigation and arbitration
  • IT law, data protection and privacy
  • Intellectual property
  • Insurance

Our IT disputes lawyers work closely with colleagues who specialise in IT outsourcing, intellectual property and data protection law in order to combine high quality dispute resolution skills with deep sector knowledge. This combination allows us to negotiate solutions for troubled IT projects, but also to resort successfully to dispute resolution processes where negotiation fails.
