The technology group at Mishcon de Reya LLP is ‘extremely knowledgeable, business savvy and commercially astute’. Led from London by David Rose, the firm-wide IP practice has a strong outpost in Cambridge, partly thanks to Patrick Farrant, who works between both offices and leads the firm’s international technology offering. Gareth Dickson, who has ’a wonderful calm manner and great business common sense’, is highly regarded for international and online dispute resolution. Louisa Dixon, who has ‘a reassuring calm manner and is great with clients’, is active at all stages from IP creation and protection through commercialisation, to enforcement. David Rainford has a track record of high-value deals in technology-based life-sciences, software, AI, and quantum computing.
