Technology law

My Technology Law practice is designed to support businesses, consultancies and innovators that develop, deploy or rely on digital and technology‑enabled solutions. I advise clients across the full lifecycle of technology products and services, from early structuring and contracting to ongoing compliance and risk management in regulated digital environments. Each of the following areas requires careful legal drafting and a clear understanding of how technology, regulation and commercial objectives interact. My role is to help clients operate confidently in complex digital environments while supporting innovation and growth.

‍

Digital products, platforms and service frameworks

I advise on the legal structuring and contractual frameworks underpinning technology‑driven businesses and platforms, including:

• service terms and subscription terms for digital and online services;
• end user licence agreements (EULAs) governing the use of software and platforms;
• software‑as‑a‑service (SaaS), platform‑as‑a‑service (PaaS) and other “as‑a‑service” (XaaS) arrangements;
• master services agreements (MSAs) and statements of work (SoWs), particularly in modular or agile delivery models.

‍These agreements are tailored to reflect the commercial realities of technology businesses, including scalability, service levels, data usage and allocation of risk.

‍

Software development and technology projects

I regularly advise on the contractual aspects of software and technology development projects, including:

• software development agreements under both waterfall and agile methodologies;
• licensing of developed software and allocation of intellectual property rights;
• maintenance, support and change‑control arrangements;
• collaboration and joint development structures.

My advice focuses on ensuring clarity around ownership, control and responsibility, while allowing sufficient flexibility for iterative development.

Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies

A key part of my practice focuses on artificial intelligence and the regulation of emerging technologies. I advise businesses, consultancies and public‑sector‑facing organisations on:

• practical compliance with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689);
• AI role analysis (including provider and deployer qualification);
• AI risk assessments and AI Act readiness reviews;
• governance of AI‑enabled services, including those built on reusable or pre‑trained models, platforms and data‑space infrastructures.

My approach is practical and proportionate, helping clients deploy AI‑enabled solutions responsibly while managing regulatory, contractual and reputational risk.

Intellectual property, data protection and digital regulation

Technology projects frequently raise overlapping intellectual property and regulatory issues. I assist clients with:

• protection, commercialisation and licensing of intellectual property, including copyrights, designs and trademarks;
• IP transactions, including assignments, licences and other transfers;
• compliance with personal data protection laws, including privacy notices, records of processing activities, data protection impact assessments and international data transfers;
• acting as an external data protection officer (DPO) or EU representative.
