Overview
Technology, including the Internet, and still emerging forms are at the heart of the strategies of all organizations, large and small, across all industries. From intellectual property to content management to e-commerce and distribution methods, what was once an emerging area is now integral to nearly every sector of the global economy. Our Technology, Media & Communications Group offers unique and focused strength in this area. Widely known as a destination practice for Internet, media and technology-related transactional matters, we offer an experienced, practical and insightful approach.
Our lawyers advise clients on the use of technology to develop and distribute new products, services and distribution platforms and in the acquisition and implementation of technology and related services to support core internal business processes. Many of our lawyers came to private practice after careers in the technology industry and, as a result, we offer technical knowledge with practical experience to create innovative solutions that few firms can match.
Our practice was recently nominated by our clients and recognized in the 2008 edition of Corporate Counsel magazine as a “Go-To” law firm of leading technology companies. In addition, our New Media and Technology Law Blog has garnered mention in The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and the International Herald Tribune, among a host of leading business and trade publications. This ongoing discussion of trends and leading topics positions us as true thought leaders in the industry and allows us to better service our clients’ business needs.
