Provided by Shoosmiths LLP
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 focused and innovative legal advice.
