Clarion
The highly regarded team at Clarion provides ‘commercially focused, pragmatic advice’ to a large roster of contractors and suppliers in the IT and fintech sectors, which instruct the team to handle key services arrangements in connection with the provision of technology solutions. The team is also active on transactional matters, acting on major acquisitions in the IT sector, and is also capable of advising clients on the procurement of new IT infrastructure. Matthew Hattersley, who advises on high-value procurements and outsourcing initiatives, co-leads the team with litigator Dominic Higham, who extends the firm’s offering to clients seeking advice in contractual disputes. Commercial IT expert David Cunningham is also highly recommended.
