The technology industry creates change. While other businesses focus on keeping up with change, technology companies need to stay well ahead of it.
Being at the forefront of rapid change can present its own unique set of legal challenges.
The challenge for any industry is to keep pace with evolving technology and make the most of opportunities without falling into the traps.
We understand the importance of staying ahead of developments and regulation, both in Australia and internationally. Several of our lawyers have university degrees in science, including computer science.
We’ve been following technology developments closely and have built a comprehensive track record in all forms of intellectual property, biotechnology and information technology transactions.
Our experience in the field includes intellectual property protection, commercialisation and due diligence, venture capital, regulatory issues, outsourcing arrangements, research and development agreements, technology transfer, consultancy and confidentiality agreements, alternative dispute resolution and claims management and litigation.
Our clients include multinational and ASX-listed technology companies, together with a wide range of technology start-up and spinout companies and research institutes. We are experienced at drafting and negotiating technology transfer agreements including patent licensing, technical assistance agreements, distribution and agency agreements and we’ve supported and developed the commercialisation of high-technology products for many leading industry clients.
