Commercial and Technology

Our Commercial & Technology legal team advises clients on a broad range of commercial issues including outsourcing agreements, strategic relationships, licensing agreements and other forms of critical agreements which we combine with a deep technology literacy and industry experience. 

We cover the whole spread of the TMT market and we advise from startups and fast growth companies to global blue chip technology companies and investors in the TMT ecosystem, including VC investors and private equity sponsors, on our clients' most complex legal and commercial challenges. 

Different from a traditional law firm, we combine our Legal and Regulatory capabilities with Deloitte's Consulting, Audit, Risk Advisory, Financial Advisory and Tax teams to create an integrated, seamless and holistic approach to help our clients realize their digital ambitions and overcome digital challenges by guiding them through the complex legal landscapes. 

We have a strong understanding of the needs and the complexities involved with technology companies arising in their business life cycles arising from the development, use and investment in technology. Our lawyers get into the heart of our clients' business relations, and we stay with our clients every step of the way on their matters. In addition to advising technology companies and other MNC clients looking for a digital transformation of their operation, we are a regular advisor to the Hong Kong monetary and financial regulators on complex legal issues arising from the various FinTech initiatives, including analyzing and designing the legislative framework applicable to crypto and other virtual assets activities.
