The landscape of technology disputes continues to evolve, driven by regulatory scrutiny and competition between tech companies. These conflicts are increasingly shaping critical national infrastructure, cloud transitions, and emerging AI technologies.

Jeremy Sharman, Rachel Glass, Matthew Pack, and Anne-Sophie Lampe had the opportunity to discuss these developments in a Q&A with Financier worldwide Magazine, where they explored key trends in technology disputes. They covered the challenges posed by legacy systems, AI-driven decision-making, and the complexities of reverse engineering in software development.

Key takeaways:

  • The digitisation of industries has led to disputes around legacy systems and hybrid solutions.
  • AI and "black box" technology raise questions around transparency and accountability in decision-making.
  • Recent cases highlight the importance of clear contractual terms, particularly regarding software usage and reverse engineering.
  • Early expert involvement can streamline resolution and minimise risk.
  • Thorough planning during contract negotiations is essential to avoid disputes down the line.

The shift towards digital solutions is inevitable, but businesses must anticipate and mitigate risk effectively. Read the full Q&A here. Or you can access the PDF here.
