Ranked Band 1 by both Legal 500 and Chambers UK Guide and one of only a handful of practices in the UK to be awarded Band 1 status as a “National Leader outside London” (Chambers UK Guide), the team is noted as a “thriving team that draws on a wealth of expertise to handle the complete range of IT matters and represents a fine choice for clients." (Chambers UK Guide).
The team operates nationally and is one of the largest dedicated practices in the UK, offering both strength and depth of expertise to handle the most complex and cutting edge transactions on a domestic and international scale.
“Highly regarded practice acting for an impressive roster of clients, with expertise in both the supply and customer sides of IT services.
“I would not hesitate in recommending Shoosmiths for support on business critical, high profile, transformation projects. On our recent significant outsourcing, Shoosmiths acted as a true extension of my team and ran the project to the highest level,
drawing on their vast technology and outsourcing experience. Their pragmatic and commercial approach meant we hit our milestones and kept the deal on track. Above all they were an absolute pleasure to work with which was recognised by legal and the business.
The team combines its wealth of sector expertise with business sense and pragmatism, with many of its lawyers having previously occupied positions within the tech industry and as in-house lawyers. As a result, our lawyers are not just legal experts, but IT & technology experts.
The team has capability to advise on all IT & technology related matters, but has particular expertise in respect of:
- Large scale, transformational tech and IT projects, including outsourcing and solution integration
- IT agreements of all nature
- FinTech
- Web3 & Metaverse
