Considered a go-to firm for clients in the artificial intelligence, gaming and software sectors, Mishcon de Reya LLP is equipped to advise on a wide array of matters, under the supervision of newly appointed department head James Boyle. Boyle is particularly impressive in data sharing projects and multi-jurisdictional compliance matters. Adam Rose is often called upon to assist with investigations brought forward by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). In July 2024, Robert Griffiths joined the team from Deloitte Legal, and Ashley Winton left the firm in the following September.
