Technology

Technology businesses face pressure from every direction: faster product cycles, tighter regulation, investor scrutiny, data and cyber risk, and the challenge of turning innovation into sustainable growth. You need lawyers who understand both the legal detail and the commercial realities of developing, buying, funding, and scaling technology.

Technology now sits at the centre of how organisations operate, compete, and grow. As platforms, products, systems, and data become more complex, the legal issues around them can quickly affect revenue, resilience, reputation, and investment.

Our experienced tech lawyers advise technology-led businesses, investors, and established organisations across sectors including FinTech, InsurTech, cyber, MedTech, software, platforms, and emerging technologies. We support clients on the legal issues that shape growth and delivery, from commercial contracts, data protection, AI governance, IP, outsourcing, procurement, and funding to regulation, transactions, and risk management.

We understand how technology works in practice, how it is regulated, and how legal advice needs to support product, operational, and commercial decisions. That means we give pragmatic, sector-aware advice that fits your market, your innovation, and your risk profile.

We build teams around the issues that matter most to each client. Our technology specialists include experts in corporate, commercial, employment, regulatory, disputes, IP and data protection law, giving clients joined-up support across the full lifecycle of a technology business, investment, product, or project.

Scaling businesses and supporting investors

We help technology businesses turn innovation into sustainable growth, whether they are bringing new products to market, adapting an existing business model, or scaling into new markets and revenue streams.

Our tech lawyers support ambitious technology companies with the legal and governance issues that matter most as they grow, including commercial contracts, investment readiness, financial regulation, tax structuring, risk management and navigating litigation, cross-border issues, corporate governance, and funding arrangements.

We also advise technology investors on advisory and transactional matters, helping them structure investments, manage exits, develop partnerships, and strengthen the contracts that protect value throughout the investment lifecycle.

Insurtech

InsurTech businesses are reshaping how insurance is priced, distributed, underwritten, and managed. As insurers, technology providers, brokers, and customers respond to rising costs, changing risk models, and evolving regulation, legal advice needs to support both innovation and compliance.

We are active in the InsurTech market through our legal work and sector engagement, including our membership of organisations such as Insurtech UK. That gives us a practical understanding of the commercial, regulatory, and operational pressures facing businesses in this space.

We advise InsurTech businesses on company formation, funding, product launches, data protection, regulatory compliance, governance, partnerships, platform arrangements, and commercial contracts.

Fintech

FinTech businesses operate in a fast-moving, highly regulated market where product design, customer trust, funding, compliance, and commercial partnerships are closely connected. Our tech lawyers support FinTech clients across the legal, governance, regulatory, and commercial issues that shape growth.

We are active in the FinTech ecosystem, including through our work with sector bodies such as FinTech Wales. We advise payment service providers, e-money institutions, challenger banks, WealthTech businesses, and other financial technology companies on the legal issues that arise as they launch, scale, partner, and transact.

Cryptoassets and blockchain

The regulatory environment for cryptoassets, blockchain, and digital assets has changed significantly. Businesses and investors now need to navigate financial promotions, authorisation and registration requirements, AML and KYC obligations, governance, consumer protection, and commercial risk.

We advise businesses operating in this space on FCA authorisation and registration, business structures, funding, financial promotions, AML and KYC compliance, contracts, policies, governance, and risk management.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is now a core business, legal, and governance issue. Weak controls, unclear policies, or poor incident readiness can expose organisations to regulatory action, contractual claims, operational disruption, and reputational damage.

Capital’s tech solicitors help organisations strengthen their approach to cyber risk, including policies, governance, regulatory compliance, supplier and technology contracts, data protection and incident response planning.

We also provide post-incident support and can advise on the litigation and regulatory risk which can follow a cyber attack.

Commercial Disputes solicitor, Carrie Jones, sits on the advisory board for the Cyber Resilience Centre for Wales, working closely with industry leaders to provide SMEs, charities, and public sector organisations with cybersecurity support and advice.
