At Arnotts Technology Lawyers, we have some of the deepest knowledge of technology contracts in the legal profession. When it comes to legal matters, our clients’ success is driven by the substantial experience that we have gained in the technology law space. Our clients include one of Australia’s largest media organisations, an electricity generator, local councils, a company with a satellite orbiting the Earth and a range of startups, SMEs and large enterprise clients. Our wide range of clients all have unique legal and commercial requirements. Our expertise allows us to meet these requirements with a personalised, unique approach.

Our reputation carries across industries, resulting in frequent referrals from other law firms who simply do not understand a client’s business or technological space. We have many years of experience negotiating tech deals with telecommunications suppliers, technology vendors, banks, television networks, stock exchanges, pharmaceutical companies, mining operators and many other large organistions.

What sets us apart

What sets us apart from our competitors is our deep expertise in technology and telecommunications law.

We excel at finding and pointing out the legal “blind spots” that many business leaders miss out on when negotiating technology agreements and contracts. 

The simple truth is that many CEOs and executives are great at managing their companies, yet they often miss potholes and pitfalls that can hide in a technology contract. Without an expert in technology contracts, you stand the risk of jeopardising the success and profitability of your IT business. 

The ATL team’s professionalism and focus on the software details of the case were critical to a successful hearing. Given the rarity of having in-depth understanding of computer science and law, I only have the strongest recommendation for Alan and his team as the best software lawyers in Sydney.

Save Time

If you are a senior technology executive, you probably spend a lot of your time and attention negotiating commercial contracts. You may be surprised to learn that the majority of executives are incredibly unprepared when it comes to legal matters, especially when it comes to technology law. Hiring an expert in this area will save you time and money. Making mistakes in technology law can be detrimental to a company and require a large price tag to fix. Avoid this added hassle by hiring an expert from the beginning.

Alan is an extremely good lawyer. He has an attention to detail that is essential in complex situations. He is level headed and does very well under pressure.
