Digital law group

As businesses undergo significant digital transformation, contracts and the legal industry need to evolve and digitise to connect to our clients’ data rich world. The digital law team combines legal and digital skills to help drive law into the digital age, as part of our wider Emerging Technologies Group.

Emerging technologies are fundamentally changing the way that individuals, businesses and governments interact. Autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, robotics and blockchain technology are transforming all industries and sectors and creating opportunities for new ones.

The evolution of law through the introduction of digital contracts, digital legislation and other technological connectivity presents a significant opportunity to boost productivity and deliver economic gains by enabling industry and government to streamline, automate and connect aspects of contractual operations, delivering better services in a real-time, secure and efficient way.

At the cutting edge of this digital transformation, we have established the Digital Law Group – a group of specialist lawyers providing legal, strategic and practical advice to our clients in relation to their biggest and most important digitalisation projects.

Comprising a permanent team of experienced lawyers, and supported by a rotating cohort from across the firm, the team works hand-in-hand with our market-leading TMT practice, other practice groups and our Digital Legal Delivery group, which unites experts in legal operations, legal process design, innovation and analytics
