Overview

Mayer Brown's technology capabilities cover a comprehensive range of services to companies engaged in internet, media, technology, fintech, insurtech and ecommerce products and services—and the investors who finance them—across the globe.

No part of the global economy moves faster than the technology sector. Technical developments never stop, market innovation constantly tests existing legal frameworks and an increasingly global market offers both opportunities and novel challenges. It is an intensely competitive field, and working with the right law firm provides a critical commercial advantage. Our global footprint is built to serve clients who demand efficient and effective counsel with deep experience advising on precedent-setting disputes and deals that affect market participants across the globe.

Technology-related legal services have been a primary focus for Mayer Brown for over two decades. We represent and advise many of the world’s largest tech, media and fintech organizations, including Meta, Google, X, eBay, Alibaba, Lyft, PayPal, Accenture, Wolters Kluwer, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, American Express and Spotify. But we continue to marshal our strengths in both transactional matters and disputes to advise startups on a wide range of issues, including sophisticated technology transactions; high-profile litigation and dispute resolution matters; securities offerings and financing transactions; M&A transactions; intellectual property matters; employment and benefits; regulatory issues; and data privacy and cybersecurity.

Our international reach, deep industry knowledge and extensive technical legal capacity enable us to understand the myriad business needs of companies that are creating or leveraging technology. With on-the-ground teams in the key centers directing commercial and regulatory policy (including Washington DC, London, Hong Kong and Brussels), we take an informed and pragmatic approach to navigating major opportunities and concerns. And our firm is deeply entrenched in many of the cities where these technologies are being developed, including San Francisco, Palo Alto, New York, Salt Lake City, London, Paris, São Paulo and Singapore.

Our relationships are long-standing, and our clients rely on our perspective, analysis and judgment in general strategic terms as well as on individual matters. We work side by side with in-house teams, using our industry knowledge and legal understanding to anticipate and assess challenges in the marketplace and regulatory arena, crafting innovative responses and advising on market actions.
