IT and data

Deep sector knowledge

Over the years, our brand has become synonymous with the world of IT and data, with a range of services designed to keep pace with an industry almost entirely defined by innovation and change. Our deep sector knowledge comes from acting for an impressive client base comprising the great and the good in global technology, which exposes us to fresh ideas and new operating models ahead of the competition.

Data protection

Our data protection team advises on all data protection, security, cyber and privacy related issues, from the implications of EU legislation to international data transfers to day-to-day compliance issues and dealing with requests from the ICO and other data protection regulators. Above all, we can help you take advantage of the growing number of opportunities around data, helping to commercialise it compliantly.

We are also well-versed in supporting vendors in the outsourcing sector, advising both suppliers and users on a range of work, from small, national initiatives to multi-million, multi-jurisdictional projects.
