DLA Piper LLP (US) leverages its global network to focus on tech transactions and outsourcing projects across multiple jurisdictions. Global medical devices and pharma companies call upon the firm for strategic guidance on master outsourcing services agreements and digital transformations. Global co-chair Vincent Sanchez, who works in the Chicago and Los Angeles offices, advises high profile clients across a range of sectors, including the energy, life sciences and TMT industries, on post-contract matters pertaining to implementation, governance, audits and disputes as a result of sourcing relationships. Sanchez is a go-to for digital transformation and supply chain management support. San Diego-based Gregory Manter works with financial institutions and services companies on software and ERP implementation agreements as well as network field services. Dallas-stationed senior attorney Brian Joe is experienced in negotiating software licensing, development, distribution and service agreements for clients in the manufacturing, telecoms and consulting industries, and supports Sanchez on global facilities management outsourcing deals for big tech clients. Associate Joanna Sykes-Saavedra, with former in-house counsel experience, guides multinational clients through balancing risks with creative solutions, and is particularly noted for her assistance to overseas wagering technology companies with their transactions with government agencies. Mac Ferguson and Lana Turpie, in Dallas and San Diego respectively, are key members of the team for SaaS negotiations and hyperscaler contracts.
