Read our latest thought leadership report for practical insights from our global team of lawyers, helping you stay ahead of the technology and AI trends reshaping supplier–customer relationships in 2025/26.

As technology suppliers roll out cloud services, AI solutions, and data platforms to highly regulated sectors, legal teams have become pivotal in managing risk and driving commercial success. With tech deals growing increasingly complex - from AI-driven contracts to stringent compliance demands - understanding these dynamics is critical for legal professionals and corporate leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve.

In this edition of Telescope, we cover:

  • Mastering complex tech contracts: Learn how to manage IP, data, and AI-specific clauses while balancing risk and resilience.
  • Regulatory headwinds: Understand the impact of the EU AI Act, Data Act, and other global digital laws on supplier-customer relationships.
  • People-centric implementation: Explore how legal teams can align innovation with labor law and employee engagement during tech rollouts.
  • Digital resilience in regulated markets: See how compliance can become a competitive advantage in financial, health, and industrial sectors.
  • IP protection in the digital age: Discover strategies for safeguarding ownership and managing open-source risks.
  • M&A trends in Technology & Digital: From AI-driven acquisitions to supply chain de-risking, learn what’s shaping dealmaking.
  • Managing disputes and data center deals in an era of hyperscale growth.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition. Please get in touch with our Technology & Digital team if you would like to discuss any of the topics further.
