IT Dispute Resolution Solicitors

Technology and IT software is vital for business operations. With business needs and requirements constantly changing we have seen a rise in the number of agile software solutions being offered. 

However, the increasing need for flexible solutions can lead to disputes between software providers and end-users.   

Our specialist solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with IT disputes (acting for both software developers and those procuring IT infrastructure and services).

Our Commercial Litigation Team is ranked Tier 1 in the UK Legal 500. When disputes do happen, we act swiftly to assess our clients’ options and provide strategic commercial advice to meet objectives and resolve disputes.
