Eve England > Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP > Cardiff, United Kingdom > Lawyer Profile

Led by Matthew Gough , Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP is particularly adept at advising on non-contentious IP matters, including on the effective commercialisation of IPR and on digitisation strategies for clients. Niche areas of strength include consumer law compliance and work for software providers and users of software on licensing matters. The financial services sector is also a key area of focus, with Eve England , the other partner in the group, regularly providing IP due diligence for fund client Pollen Street Capital on its M&A work in the sector.

Leveraging deep and longstanding contractual expertise among the team’s fee-earners, including in relation to outsourcing and advice on digitisation strategies, as well as drawing upon the efficiencies inherent in the firm’s consultancy arm Konexo, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP provides a very comprehensive service to UK and international clients across a range of tech/IT-related work. Under the guidance of the vastly experienced Matthew Gough, the firm is particularly adept at advising on work at the interface of financial services and technology, both in relation to standalone contractual work, as well as on due diligence pursuant to M&A in the sector (including for core fund client Pollen Street Capital). Eve England  is also a key member of the team, whose expertise within the fintech and retail space manifests itself in relation to transactional work, as well as standalone contractual advice – where clients also benefit from her consumer law knowledge, particularly in the context of online sales channels.
