Technology Is Everywhere: Make It Work for Your Business

Technology touches every aspect of business nowadays, and it continues to influence on our lives.

The tech sector is growing at an extraordinary rate both globally and regionally, and there’s an infectious enthusiasm from within BPE and amongst the clients we work with at the moment thanks to the growing possibilities that technology is presenting.

BPE’s team is made up of transactional, commercial and data lawyers wholly focused on the tech sector, from software, data and digital markets to science and industry, and always on commercial delivery.

We have a great track record of working with entrepreneurial start-ups, pulling together our specialists across our Corporate, Commercial, IP and Employment teams to support scale ups as they continue to grow.

We are passionate about helping businesses to embrace technology, so much so, we have developed innovative products that solve problems people may not know exist. Digital Assurance as a Service is a collaborative product which delivers digital resilience across entire supply chains – identifying the vulnerabilities from top to bottom – so businesses can take steps to put further protection measures in place.

From blockchain and metaverse to augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, the team works with cutting-edge technologies and works with businesses of every size and life stage to help bring these products to market.

Combining our passion of evolving technologies with the significant expertise of our team members, BPE can work with clients to help them achieve their goals.

“BPE has navigated us through many minefields and represented us in some challenging contract negotiations. Not only are they skilled at cutting to the chase and giving no-nonsense, practical advice on contractual issues but they also ‘have our back’. I consider the team at BPE to be trusted advisors. The icing on the cake, is that the team also introduce business opportunities to us, with one referral, now one of our top clients!”

Data Trusts

We lead the way in the future of data sharing. We’ve always been innovators. Now we’re the first law firm in the UK to establish and help operate data trusts, also known as ‘data institutions’.

A data trust is a legal framework with independent stewardship which facilitates data ‘pooling’ for the purposes of running analytics and obtaining insights in response to agreed problem statements. This framework allows multiple organisations to submit data to the trust safely and ethically, in response to multiple, rolling projects. In return, the members receive data analytics and reports (without receiving the underlying data itself) for public or industry benefit. Only through common rules for data security, competition, privacy, and confidentiality are members of the trust able to collaborate in this way.
