Practice areas

Technology and innovation

We work alongside developers, manufacturers and start-ups at the point where the product is still moving but the contract already has to hold. The recurring question is always the same: who will own the output, who carries the risk when it fails, and what happens when the parties separate.

  • Development, R&D and manufacturing agreements, milestones and acceptance regimes
  • Software licence, SaaS and IT outsourcing contracts, and service levels
  • Investment and syndicate agreements, option and exit structures for start-ups
  • Allocating intellectual property rights across the development and supplier chain
  • Legal support for regulatory approvals and technical certification
  • Advice and dispute resolution in IT and telecommunications projects

Questions clients ask us

Who ends up owning bespoke development work?

By default the developer, which is why it has to be addressed expressly. The contract needs separate treatment for the transfer of economic rights or the scope of use, for source code and documentation, for the right to make derivative works, and for the open source and third-party components the developer builds in.

What should an IT outsourcing contract settle?

Service levels and how they are measured, the escalation path for failures, the processor roles and where data is stored, revocation of system access, and above all the exit scenario: what the customer gets back, in what format and within what period, when the contract ends.
