Our international experience comprises providing local and global clients with a full range of legal services.

We are members of the International Law Society and we work with the software industry’s global piracy organisation, the Business Software Alliance (BSA).

• Intellectual property and IT
  
• Corporate and commercial law
  
• Regulation, including compliance with UK legislation
