Main Areas Of Practice
Blake Morgan's IT outsourcing practice brings together specialists across our Technology, Procurement and IT Disputes practices, with support from our Data Privacy, Employment and Regulatory teams to ensure that clients obtain the right advice across an outsourcing's lifecycle.
IT Outsourcing and Procurement
Our specialist IT outsourcing lawyers have experience of acting for both vendors and purchasers in all forms of outsourcing, including global outsourcings, offshoring, near-shoring, and in-sourcing. Accordingly, our IT outsourcing lawyers have a keen grasp of the issues and experience of devising practical solutions to meet our clients' requirements throughout the lifecycle of the procurement process from invitation to tender (ITT) to implementation.
Cloud Computing
Our IT outsourcing lawyers are well versed in all forms of cloud computing, from software as a service (SAAS) to platform as a service (PAAS) and infrastructure as a service (IAAS) offerings. Our lawyers have experience of acting for both vendors and purchasers and can therefore guide clients through the issues and identify and manage their risk profile in adopting cloud services, whether for instance they concern transparency, security or supplier integrity.
Business Process Outsourcing
Our IT outsourcing specialist lawyers are well versed in wider outsourcing activities such as business process outsourcing; often there is considerable overlap concerning technology and outsourcing methodologies.
Technology Disputes
Our IT outsourcing practice covers the full range of outsourced activity, and we regularly advise on mid- or end-term reviews and/or changes to the outsourcing agreement and disputes arising from it. Our IT outsourcing practice works closely with our IT Disputes team to manage and resolve disputes.
Our Clients
We have worked with companies through the lifecycle, from start-up through growth and acquisition to listing. Our clients include both vendors and purchasers of IT outsourcing. A key differentiator of our team is that we have a complementary in-depth understanding of both private and public sectors and their structures, procurement methodologies and drivers to help identify opportunities and potential blockers.
