- Drafting and negotiating technology supply, licensing, SaaS, cloud, outsourcing and IT services agreements
- Advising on the technology and commercial aspects of M&A, investments and strategic transactions
- Working with clients on complex technology procurement, transformation and implementation projects

- A genuine interest in technology and the commercial issues affecting businesses operating in the sector
- International or cross-border experience advantageous

This would suit a lawyer looking for a broader, genuinely transactional technology practice, rather than a role focused narrowly on one particular regulatory or technology sub-sector.
