Alison Berryman

Technology and Commercial Law

Alison heads up Waterfront’s Technology and Commercial Law team and specialises in drafting and negotiating a very broad variety of commercial contracts, particularly for SME clients in the technology, software, digital media and e-commerce sectors.  Alison works with clients of all sizes - from individual iPhone App developers, to medium sized businesses requiring software licences, to overseas national governments requiring advice on European Data Protection Legislation.  Alison has undertaken two secondments as part of Waterfront’s "Virtual In-House Lawyer" scheme.  The experience gained during these secondments, together with her work in-house prior to Waterfront, has led Alison to take a very pragmatic and commercial approach to most legal problems.  Many clients have commented on how useful this approach is in enabling them to make informed decisions quickly, so they can get back to the ‘real work’.
