Mishcon de Reya LLP‘s merger with Taylor Vinters in January 2023 brought together teams of experts on both sides to create a ‘responsive, insightful, and very experienced’ combined practice, which routinely provides core AI regulatory and licensing advice, alongside IP protection and infringement risk counsel. From the legacy Taylor Vinters side, the ‘practical, personable, and fiercely intelligent’ Ashley Williams heads the group, while also co-leading the tech transactions team; Claire Green is a specialist in the fintech sphere, while James Boyle stands out for providing privacy and data protection advice to data rich businesses. Nina O’Sullivan is a partner and head knowledge lawyer in the innovation department, focusing on IP and data protection, while sports and tech expert Simon Leaf and fintech and privacy partner Ashley Winton are also noted as key.
