Pinsent Masons scoops top IT/IP honours at the Lawyer
Awards
Pinsent Masons’ Outsourcing, Technology and Commercial (OTC)
team was honoured yesterday at the prestigious The Lawyer awards by
winning the IP/IT Team of the Year.
The
100-lawyer strong OTC team, 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 commented, "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.”
Ends.
