Administrative Law, Government Affairs, and Government Contracts
We help you thrive in every government interaction, combining technical excellence in administrative, constitutional and public law, government contracts and public procurement, and legislative and government affairs, with a deep understanding of the commercial dynamics and policy direction of highly regulated sectors. As formidable advocates, we engage early with legislators and policymakers to remove unnecessary complexity and give you the edge. We interpret novel and complex regulation with precision, and find opportunity where others see difficulty. We help you to thrive through investigations and challenges, and to challenge and defend legislative, policy, and regulatory decisions with confidence.
AI, Data, and Technology
We help you master change where innovation meets regulation – breaking through regulatory silos and reaching across borders to develop legal solutions that really work. We are trusted by the world’s leading innovators to handle cutting-edge, mission-critical, and sensitive issues in AI, connected products and services, telecommunications, strategic operations and agreements, cybersecurity, data protection, and national security. We empower clients to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving digital world, delivering strategic, end-to-end guidance strategies, policies, managing emerging risks, and navigating complex regulatory challenges.
Antitrust and Competition
Companies in highly regulated sectors must confront new antitrust challenges in today’s fast-moving environment. When competitive advantage is hard won, rules are changing fast, and scrutiny is uncompromising, we pave your way through uncertainty and risk. Whether you’re closing strategic transactions, making international investments, bidding for government contracts, facing a regulatory investigation or litigation, our cross-border insight makes the difference.
Commercial Contracts
Commercial agreements, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and outsourcing arrangements are vital drivers of growth and innovation. But they also bring added legal complexity, especially when operating across borders. We help you stay ahead of these challenges – anticipating what’s next and ensuring your agreements are built to withstand shifting legal, economic, and commercial realities. Our team combines regulatory insight, IP protection, and commercial acumen to support clients across the supply and product lifecycle. With decades of experience advising on high-stakes commercial projects, we help clients master change and unlock new opportunities through strategic, future-ready contracts.
