DLA Piper is frequently instructed by leading global brands to handle their IT and digital matters, both contentious and advisory. The team continues to consolidate its expertise in complex digital transformation projects, including cloud and outsourcing issues. The practice has a deep bench of senior practitioners: Gregory Tulquois is noted for his expertise in complex contracts; Fabienne Panneau and Stéphane Lemarchand handle contentious work, including piracy and software infringement cases; and Jonathan Rofé is recommended as an outsourcing expert. Jeanne Dauzier is also recommended.
