This eight-strong dedicated and specialist team has extensive IT dispute resolution and dispute avoidance experience, helping clients to avoid unnecessary and costly disputes.

Recognised by clients for providing 'realistic and commercially minded' advice, the team combines first-class legal skills and an ability to grasp the technical issues quickly.

It's a priority to understand the commercial pressures that affect clients and their business. Because the team acts for suppliers and users of IT and telecommunications, its lawyers understand the issues from both sides of the fence.

Eddie Breen is regarded by clients as a 'trusted advisor' providing 'responsive, tactical and pragmatic legal advice'.

AUDIT (Avoiding Unnecessary Disputes in IT) is designed to help clients pre-empt issues at an early stage, before they become major problems.

A menu of legal services including risk management advice and support from the start to the finish of a project helps clients to steer a path around any pitfalls that might arise.

Memberships of industry-related forums including the British Computer Society and The Society for Computers and Law, as well as the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and Technology and Construction Solicitors Association, add depth to the team's expertise.

Clients include AstraZeneca, British Airways, Capgemini UK, Ceridian, Chubb, Liverpool Victoria Friendly, Logica CMG, QinetiQ, Spirit Group, Steria Limited and Universal Music.
