The
100-lawyer strong Outsourcing, Technology and Communications team
of Pinsent Masons, led by partner Clive Seddon, has been widely
recognised as one of the leading IT/IP teams for several years
although this is the first time it has won this award.
The team built upon recent impressive performances and had its
strongest year ever last year, winning leading roles on choice
Government and private sector IT projects. This included the
handling of multi-billion pound transactions for clients such as
the Department for Work and Pensions, BAE Systems and Bank of
Ireland, as well as winning a place on BT’s legal
panel. Pinsent Masons also facilitated the Criminal Justice IT
project to join-up its IT and communications infrastructure, which
is widely considered to be a best-practice model for public sector
IT procurement.
Pinsent Masons has also experienced growth in the areas of IP,
IT dispute resolution, communications and e-commerce, and
maintained its position as a recognised leader in information
law.
Clive Seddon, partner and head of Pinsent Masons’ Outsourcing,
Technology and Commercial group said: "We are delighted to win this
award, which recognises the hard work and dedication of our team.
We have a first class delivery record in this area, and this
accolade as the leading IT/IP team tops off a fantastic year for
us.”
