DL LEGAL

Solicitors

COMMERCIAL, TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

LAW MADE SIMPLE

 
 



Its investment in latest technology means that DLLEGAL can offer City expertise, accessibility and responsiveness in relation to commercial, non-contentious and contentious work but at a discount to usual City rates.


DL LEGAL can advise and represent in relation to UK law and EU law. We particularly specialise in technology firms wishing to establish a presence in the UK and other parts of Europe.


Our lawyers are unique in not having pure-law backgrounds and therefore have a commercial understanding often lacking in competing professionals.


We also have an “in-house counsel support facility” which offers a service either hand-holding in-house counsel or taking the place of in-house counsel for companies not able to afford their own full-time in-house counsel. This is on a retainer basis and offers support for contract negotiating and drafting, tracking of commercial contracts, obligations, exposures and timetables and a general support hotline for legal issues arising on a day by day basis.


DL LEGAL's lawyers are involved in some of the leading technology projects funded by the European Community.
