Lawyers from across the firm work with companies throughout the technology spectrum including in IT, biotech and Cleantech.
In their first few years, most technology companies need a range of legal help including employment agreements for staff and directors, contracts to protect and exploit their intellectual property, as well as terms of trading.
We are able to help growing technology companies through this process, often for fixed low fees, precisely because we have already done it for so many other technology companies. There is no need to reinvent the wheel each time.
Of course, not every challenge faced by every company is the same. Most of our technology team have science degrees as well as legal qualifications and we use that additional commercial expertise to help meet those challenges.
We have a market leading venture capital trust practice and often are able to provide introductions to potential investment monies as well as advice on local and regional grants and tax credits.
The result of all of the above is that more than 70% of the new clients our technology team get each year are referred to us by existing happy clients who we have already helped through this process.
We are always happy to provide our expertise to help existing and emerging technology companies who have a need for reasonably priced commercially driven advice.
