Shoosmiths’ national TMT team is one of the largest dedicated practices in the UK, comprising over 20 lawyers (including 9 partners) who regularly act on high-profile TMT transactions for well-known businesses across the sector.
As you’d expect, our experienced TMT lawyers are experts at applying the ‘black letter’ law. But we don’t work in a legal bubble. In a sector where disruption, innovation and constant change are everywhere, we know what is happening on the ground.
What’s more, most of our lawyers have worked in-house. The result? We speak fluent business sense: our lawyers are not just legal experts but TMT experts. A deep knowledge of these sectors—inside and out—means that we have hands-on experience of giving focussed and innovative legal advice.

If there is an international aspect to a project, our extensive network of personal relationships with law firms around the world means that we can locate the right legal experts for the job. Our network is complemented by our longstanding membership of the World Services Group (WSG), a multi-disciplinary professional services organisation, which brings together leading advisers in over 145 countries across the globe.
