Our Practice Areas

Full-service legal support for technology transactions, digital transformation and emerging technology regulation.

Technology and digital work sit at the core of our practice. We assist clients in navigating the commercial and regulatory complexities of an ever-evolving technology landscape, from foundational infrastructure to cutting-edge artificial intelligence deployments.

Our team covers all aspects of technology, data and digital transactions. We are adept in the associated regulatory environment, including data and privacy law, cybersecurity, financial services regulation, critical infrastructure, online safety, consumer protection, telecommunications, and space law.

We work to understand both the underlying technology and your strategic objectives, seeking solutions across all areas of key risk in technology, data, and digital projects. This includes supporting the development and documentation of service descriptions, pricing methodologies, and service-level regimes.

Areas we cover:

Core Systems Core system implementation and transformation projects, including core banking, ERP systems, wealth platforms and payment systems. We support clients through the full lifecycle from procurement and vendor selection through to implementation, testing and go-live.

Enterprise Licensing Negotiating with all major vendors and developing enterprise licensing structures that combine vendor standard terms with meaningful customer protections. We have deep experience across the full range of enterprise software relationships.

Senior counsel for complex transactions, high-value negotiations and significant commercial events.

When the commercial stakes are highest, organisations need more than legal review. They need experienced judgment at the negotiating table and disciplined oversight of the risk involved.

Our team advises on high-value and complex commercial transactions across multiple jurisdictions. We have structured and negotiated deals across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, in sectors ranging from financial services and critical infrastructure to technology, media and government. We bring that depth of experience directly to bear on behalf of our clients.

What this includes:

Commercial Contract Strategy and Negotiation Structuring, drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements, with a focus on risk allocation, commercial protection and long-term enterprise value.

Cross-Border Transactions Advisory support for transactions spanning multiple jurisdictions, addressing regulatory, structural and execution complexity across international markets.

Mergers and Acquisitions Legal and commercial support across the M&A lifecycle, from early stage due diligence and structuring through to negotiation, documentation and post completion integration.

Capital Raise and Investment Transactions Support for founders, boards and executive teams navigating equity raises, debt facilities and investment transactions, ensuring legal frameworks protect commercial interests at every stage.

Dispute Strategy and Resolution Strategic oversight of commercial disputes, from early stage risk assessment and negotiation through to formal dispute resolution processes. We focus on achieving commercial outcomes efficiently.

Executive Negotiation Support Preparation, strategy and direct support for executive teams entering significant negotiations, combining legal expertise with commercial judgment and negotiating experience.

Embedded senior legal leadership for organisations that need a General Counsel without the full-time overhead.

Many growth-stage and scaling organisations reach a point where they require board-level legal oversight integrated into executive decision-making, but are not yet at the stage where a full-time General Counsel hire makes commercial sense.

Our fractional General Counsel model provides exactly that. Christopher works directly with your leadership team on an ongoing retainer basis, attending board meetings, advising on commercial strategy, overseeing external counsel and ensuring that legal risk is understood and managed at the executive level.

This is not a reactive legal service. It is embedded, commercially aligned legal leadership that treats your organisation's objectives as its own.

What this includes:

Executive and board advisory

Commercial contract strategy and negotiation

Governance and compliance framework development

Regulatory risk identification and ongoing oversight

Management and coordination of external legal counsel

Strategic input into funding rounds, transactions and market expansion

Legal function design and team building as organisations grow

Engagement structure: Monthly retainer with agreed scope and access parameters, tailored to your organisation's stage, risk profile and commercial priorities.

Disciplined governance frameworks, risk oversight and board accountability for organisations built to last.

Sound governance is not an administrative function. It is the foundation on which executive accountability, investor confidence and sustainable growth are built. As organisations scale, the governance frameworks established early will either support or constrain the decisions that matter most.

Our team works directly with boards and executive teams to design governance structures that are practical, enforceable and aligned with the commercial objectives of the organisation. We draw on deep experience advising boards across global corporates, government entities and high growth businesses, in environments ranging from stable markets to significant restructuring and strategic inflection.

What this includes:

Governance Framework Design Designing and implementing board and executive governance structures, including charters, delegation frameworks, approval authorities and policy architecture.

Regulatory Risk Management Identifying, assessing and managing regulatory risk across the organisation's operating environment, with particular depth in technology, financial services, data and critical infrastructure sectors.

Executive Accountability Structures Building clear accountability frameworks that support disciplined decision making and protect both the organisation and its directors.

Board Reporting and Advisory Designing board reporting structures that give directors meaningful visibility over enterprise risk, financial performance and strategic execution.

Crisis and High Risk Scenario Advisory Experienced advisory support for boards and executives navigating high pressure scenarios, including regulatory investigations, significant operational failures and reputational risk events.

Director Duties and Compliance Practical guidance on director duties, conflicts of interest and governance compliance, ensuring that board members understand their obligations and are supported in meeting them.

Engagement structure: Quarterly advisory retainer or defined project scope.
