Main Areas Of Practice


Our team of technology lawyers combines experience dealing with established and emerging technologies with knowledge and insight into the healthcare market including:

Apps and Web services

We work with developers to understand the legal risks associated with running apps and how to structure and manage those risks within the function of the app, as well as appropriate terms and conditions. We advise on data collection, use and sharing issues when handling sensitive patient medical data, to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements.

IT Platforms and Data Licensing

Enabling better data access and exchange between healthcare providers and systems to support patient outcomes is a key commercial healthcare ambition. We have advised on the structure, legal frameworks and risks as well as commercial contract terms, to enable the establishment of a number of unique data pooling and licensing arrangements to facilitate improvements in patient care.

Exploitation of Intellectual Property

We enable clients to protect and exploit innovation through licensing, joint venture and collaboration to take good ideas to a commercial solution.

Procurement of Technology

Our specialist team of commercial lawyers regularly advises the public sector on all aspects of conducting a procurement to ensure a robust and compliant process is followed. This experience is invaluable to the advice we provide to our private sector clients who are responding to and participating in a tender process.

Our Clients


We work with individuals developing apps in their spare time, new businesses and technology spin-outs from universities and other public sector organisations, as well as established technology providers selling into the public and private healthcare market.

Highlights


We have advised a number of GPs who have developed apps to enable better access to GP services, private patient services and related support services. Drafting terms and conditions, and advising on patient confidentiality and GDPR compliant data protection policies and procedures.


Our Healthcare Technology team has supported a number of initiatives in the London health economy to create digital information exchanges to support various treatment initiatives designed to deliver improved patient care through timely, robust and secure access to patient data.


We acted for a private sector internet of things company with expertise in the commercialisation of data monitoring devices, in a collaboration with a university and FT to commercialise devices for monitoring different medical conditions. We negotiated with the university spin-out office for an exclusive licence of the associated IP to enable our client to commercialise the products.
