SPECIALIST LEGAL SERVICES FOR TECHNOLOGY BUSINESSES

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

Intellectual property is a vital asset of technology businesses. We have vast experience in providing up-to-date and accessible advice on how best to acquire, protect, commercialise and enforce intellectual property rights in order to safeguard your technology and your business.
As technology advances, the ways in which data can be accessed and used are expanding rapidly. Businesses need to keep on top of the laws around the use of technology to handle personal data, and ensure that their data protection practices are regularly reviewed and brought up to date.
We can help you keep abreast of the latest changes in data protection compliance and the use of new and emerging technologies to process data.
We help businesses navigate the fast-evolving legal and regulatory landscape of AI with practical, actionable guidance and the development of strategies to identify and mitigate legal and operational risks. We do this by advising businesses on compliance and responsible adoption of AI both in their internal and external operations, including their legal and regulatory obligations in the development, implementation and monitoring of artificial intelligence systems.
This includes:
- advice in relation to documentation of internal governance procedures and usage policies
- risk assessments
- updating business terms and conditions to mitigate risk and limit liability as far as possible
- pre-contractual due diligence with suppliers when procuring third-party AI systems, addressing liability allocation, intellectual property rights, data protection obligations, security requirements and audit rights.

TALK TO US
I wholeheartedly recommend EMW to other business owners looking for first class legal advice.
The EOT route was the perfect vehicle for us to transfer the business to the new management team and to enable them to grow from the current excellent sales platform – the new energy and enthusiasm is palpable. This is strongly correlated to the support provided throughout by Tracy and her team. We have been very impressed not just by her knowledge, but the efficient way she explained matters in plain English. We have found elsewhere that lawyers can complicate issues, so I have been impressed by the way Tracy has helped us through the many legal documents with patience and clarity, while responding quickly and accurately to any amendments agreed.
I started EMW as an IT Helpdesk Apprentice and have progressed to an IT Helpdesk Engineer. My favourite thing about EMW is the amalgamation of work ethic, positive vibes, and flexible approach to the way we work. Everyone can make a positive impact.
There are a lot of moving parts when selling a business. Having a legal team that do what they say they will, when they say they will with professionalism and clarity makes the process significantly easier. I can’t speak highly enough of EMW.
