We recognise that the technology sector is becoming a key part of our offering, and that a different approach is often required when providing legal services. Our aim is to assist you throughout the lifecycle of your business: from the early growth stages to becoming a successful commercial operation, to safeguarding your future. Members of Leathes Prior’s specialist, dynamic and approachable Technology team provide the best tailored advice for you, driven to become your trusted business partner and legal adviser.
Our Technology team is comprised of lawyers who all have a genuine interest in technology and a willingness to adopt a pragmatic approach to problem-solving. We have experience in representing a diverse range of clients across the technology sector, including providers of artificial intelligence, Agile development, Healthtech, Fintech and cloud services technologies.
With this in mind, we are here to help your business by advising on:
- Setting up the appropriate corporate structure
- Protecting intellectual property
- Fundraising
- Licensing technology to third parties
- Appointing and incentivising management
- Negotiating key commercial deals
- Data protection compliance
- Delivering a successful exit
Our Technology team will also work closely with other teams in the firm including Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Employment and Commercial Property to ensure that clients receive a comprehensive service. If your business is not in the technology sector, we do have a Start-ups and Small Businesses team who will be able to assist.
Leathes Prior has been a consistent supporter of the local start-up sector, sponsoring the highly acclaimed SyncNorwich and Sync the City events. Our staff have also participated in these events, in order to obtain a better understanding of the challenges posed to technology businesses.
We are committed to working closely with our clients on their journey, and it is our aim to consistently offer commercial and practical advice in order maximise their success.
