Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP

Leveraging deep and longstanding contractual expertise among the team’s fee-earners, including in relation to outsourcing and advice on digitisation strategies, as well as drawing upon the efficiencies inherent in the firm’s consultancy arm Konexo, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP provides a very comprehensive service to UK and international clients across a range of tech/IT-related work. Under the guidance of the vastly experienced Matthew Gough, the firm is particularly adept at advising on work at the interface of financial services and technology, both in relation to standalone contractual work, as well as on due diligence pursuant to M&A in the sector (including for core fund client Pollen Street Capital). Eve England  is also a key member of the team, whose expertise within the fintech and retail space manifests itself in relation to transactional work, as well as standalone contractual advice – where clients also benefit from her consumer law knowledge, particularly in the context of online sales channels.
