Our Services
No one area of law covers all commercial activity using information technology. For us, technology legal advice loosely describes the various principles of law that relate to the use of technology in commerce, including:
- Protecting technology brands and intellectual property
- Commercialising technology interests
- Compliance with technology law
- Enforcement and disputes
- Contracts including development projects & contracts
- Procurement and outsourcing
Protecting Technology
We help our clients manage their technological and intellectual capital and resources, including technology legal advice on identifying and valuing their interests as well as preventing infringement. We can also assist with all aspects of registering intellectual property rights, protecting everything from brand names to inventions and business secrets.
Commercialising Technology Interests
Whether our clients are going to the market with a new technology or looking for new ways to monetise, our London solicitors can assist. We have extensive experience in drafting, advising on and negotiating licensing contracts and distribution agreements, managing the protection of know-how and assisting in the commercialisation of inventions.
Compliance
From restrictions on e-commerce businesses to data protection and consumer complaint management, we offer technology legal advice on the vast raft of ever evolving legislation affecting the technology sector.
With our expertise in the worlds of technology and law, our technology legal advice not only ensures our clients can comply with the law as it stands, but offers them practical solutions and a chance to plan for the future.
Enforcement and disputes
When a dispute arises or an infringement occurs, Gillhams offers clients the technology legal advice and support they require to protect their interests. We help with a variety of issues and, with our London litigation team, can achieve resolution for our clients, including recovery of compensation and damages where appropriate.
Our diverse workload has covered matters such as software piracy and avenues for recovery and urgent injunctions as well as P2P file sharing and we can deal with even the most complex of claims.
Technology Contracts
Gillhams produce a range of technology contracts as well as providing comprehensive technology legal advice on the enforceability of, compliance with and claims relating to existing contracts.
Procurement and Outsourcing
Clients often seek to buy in technology or outsource their needs, all of which require clear contracts allocating risk and obligations. Our team ensure that our clients’ requirements are met without compromising their interests.
