IT and Telecoms Contracts

We’ve been advising clients on IT and telecoms contracts since the start of the digital age. Most of our competitors started in the dotcom boom.

The depth of our knowledge is hard to beat. More than that, our commercial understanding of the drivers of these deals is unmatchable too. Nearly all of our lawyers have spent time working in-house before they came to Osborne Clarke, so they’ve seen commercial contracts in action. That’s an insight few firms can offer.

We have the legal skills you need in abundance. But when you’re negotiating a contract, you want something extra. You want insights, expertise and knowhow on your side, with a pragmatic, get-things-done attitude. That’s what our team brings to the table.

That's why we have an exceptional client base in IT and telecoms, working with market leaders like Facebook, Google, Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone. We have acted for video games maker Electronic Arts since its inception more than 20 years ago.

These relationships benefit everyone we work with. We have introduced many senior managers to our clients, helping them avoid paying recruitment fees. In fact, because we’re also well-connected in the venture capital and banking communities, we are always making introductions that are appropriate for our clients.

We know you want more than just legal advice. And we deliver.
