Technology for the digital economy

Our technology lawyers advise companies, entrepreneurs and investors on the legal and regulatory challenges that come with building, deploying and scaling technology.

Our technology practice is built on deep sector experience. That knowledge gives us a unique understanding of both the law and the commercial context in which our clients operate.

We advise on commercial, regulatory, transactional and IP issues affecting the technology sector, including:

  • Technology procurement, outsourcing and managed services
  • SaaS, IaaS, cloud and platform agreements
  • Software development, integration and licensing
  • IP strategy, protection and commercialisation
  • Satellite capacity and fibre leases
  • Crypto, digital assets and blockchain
  • Technology investments, M&A and due diligence
  • AI, in particular its impact on creators, deployers and rights holders
  • Data privacy, digital markets and online safety regulation

AI and other emerging technologies are advancing faster than the regulatory frameworks designed to govern them. We advise on the evolving digital landscape in the UK and EU, including the EU AI Act, the Digital Markets Act, the Digital Services Act and the UK’s Online Safety Act, helping clients identify risk and opportunity as the frameworks develop.

Our technology group draws on expertise across Wiggin in areas such as corporate, disputes, data privacy, IP, competition, tax, advertising, consumer protection, gaming and employment, offering clients sector-specific expertise across all service lines.
