Specialist legal support for IT & telecoms businesses

A good website or online presence is a must for many businesses. Attracting and selling to customers using an app is becoming more commonplace, so it’s essential you have the right protections in place for your own business and for your customers. Communications networks are the glue that holds organisations together both here in the UK and further afield. If the lines go down, the consequences could be severe, both commercially and logistically.

We are a team of specialist IT and telecoms lawyers. With an expert understanding of the legal support required by information technology businesses like yours, we make it our mission to ensure that your needs and requirements are met, and expectations exceeded.

Whether you’re a supplier or a purchaser, we advise on all contractual matters relating to telephony, communications and IT. In such a complex and fast-moving space, we recognise the value that having a team of dedicated experts can bring to your organisation. Our team has significant amounts of technical in-house expertise gained from working in large tech and telecoms businesses, which is directly reflected in our service to you.

Our IT solicitors can support you with a variety of legal challenges, from structuring business-critical IT contracts in the education sector, to producing software licenses for global car manufacturers and negotiating telecoms contracts for governmental departments. Underpinned by specialist knowledge of IT, telecoms and their subsectors, we know how to build watertight contracts and even dispute them if things turn sour.

How Our IT & Telecoms Experts Can Help

We can advise and assist with the preparation of the full suite of website and mobile app-related terms of use, acceptable use policies, privacy policies and cookie policies, as well as online terms and conditions of supply for B2B and B2C e-commerce platforms and website and mobile app design, development and hosting arrangements. 

Unlawful Web Pages & Fictitious Reviews

We can also help you to protect your business by helping to take down unlawful web pages and reputation damaging fictitious online reviews and disputes relating to listings on e-commerce platforms including Amazon and e-bay, for example where product listings are hijacked by third parties.

On-Line Complaints

In addition to pursuing online complaints, we can also assist you where you have received a complaint in relation to your online activities. 

Contracts

Contracts related to fixed-line services, mobile networks and hosted telephone services as well as software development, licensing, integration, system installation and support contracts.
