The ‘impressive’ breadth of Matheson LLP’s technology practice covers advice on technology transactions, e-commerce regulation, and intermediary liability issues. The team is equally adept at handling data governance arrangements and general data protection, as well as cyber-attacks. Spearheading the practice is Anne-Marie Bohan, who leverages almost three decades of experience to advise predominantly financial services clients on the full spectrum of privacy rules. Carlo Salizzo focuses on technology outsourcing and software licensing contracts, while Michael Byrne is a technology litigation expert, focusing on advising ISPs on requests for take-downs of defamatory online material. Digital services regulation specialist Sarah Jayne Hanna joined in 2024 and Rory O’Keeffe departed in May 2024.
