Technology

The Technology sector continues to evolve and becomes even more important in business and in our day to day lives . On a daily basis, our lawyers work with businesses whose value lies in their Technology platforms and the people who have built them. This has given us a lot of experience in dealing with Technology risks and opportunities.

Lawyers who understand your sector
We are lawyers to a diverse range of Technology clients, ranging from start-ups, to SMEs, and from individual creators, to large multinational companies. Often our clients are entrepreneur-led SMEs. The majority of our Technology clients are registered Technology based centres like Brainport Eindhoven (Europe's leading innovative Technology region) and Pivot Park Oss (life sciences park). We also work for parties that want to invest in the Technology sector.

We understand the key issues faced by the Technology industry, whether they are Technology businesses, businesses reliant on Technology or they provide services to other businesses or organisations in the industry.
