Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Regarded as a highly capable global firm, CMS provides a comprehensive service to international clients in areas such as M&A, dispute resolution, banking and finance. The sector-oriented London team exhibits real strength advising clients from the energy, insurance, technology and life sciences spaces. Cross-border mandates are often coordinated from the UK, but the law firm also stands out for its excellent network of offices throughout continental Europe, which is strengthened by its presence in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The London office offers impressive strength across IT projects, outsourcing, data protection and respected mid-market corporate and private equity teams enabling good coordination of cross-border work, which is bolstered by the strong regulatory expertise within the firm's offices in continental Europe, particularly for GDPR work. In line with the firm's all-round strengths, clients mention the firm's good knowledge of Eastern Europe as a key attribute, with the firm's work in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland noted.
