Technology has changed the way we live and how we do business. In this fast-paced, innovation- driven sector, technology companies and their leaders face numerous challenges, including the need to:
- find new capital to finance the development of new products and services, to expand and to access new markets
- protect their investment by implementing robust policies and procedures to safeguard intellectual property
- comply with local legal requirements
- retain key staff by way of introducing employee benefits and other incentive arrangements
- structure contracts to appropriately balance risk and reward on major transactions
