Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Taylor Wessing has built an enviable reputation for handling international work related to regulated industries, and it is widely renowned for its focus on companies within the life sciences and technology sectors. London continues to act as the firm's main global hub, serving a wide range of multinationals involved in pharmaceuticals, biotech and software, as well as investors with a focus on those areas. The firm's international appeal predominantly revolves around Europe, largely due to the strength of its teams in London and Germany and strong capability for advising on IP issues and commercial contracts across its European platform. The firm has also established offices in the USA and across Asia.

The London team holds a strong reputation for working with a range of technology-oriented clients. The firm's dedicated 'London TechFocus' office, in addition to its main London premises, is reflective of its interest in the sector, and the practice offers a strong combination of transactional and IP-related expertise. It has an excellent reputation for representing venture capital and private equity funds in cross-border acquisitions of portfolio companies, while the firm's experience in IT systems projects and data protection also appeals to a plethora of tech-focused businesses.
