Technology

Cravath is at the forefront of market and legal trends in the technology industry and represents many of the most highly regarded technology companies ranging from entrepreneurial startups to blue chip global corporations. Technology issues often touch upon a variety of practice areas, and our nimble, cross‑disciplinary team draws on deep experience—including a sophisticated understanding of next‑generation and disruptive technologies—to quickly and efficiently handle the many interrelated elements of a complex transaction or litigation.

Bringing together extensive legal expertise, technical knowledge and business judgment, we advise clients navigating the intersection of cutting‑edge technology and novel legal issues across industries and practice areas. This comprehensive focus allows us to provide a holistic approach to our clients’ most pressing—and often unprecedented—concerns, including with respect to artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and digital assets, data analytics, financial and infrastructure technologies, mobile devices, robotics, software and open source, and the Web3 ecosystem.

Our corporate expertise includes traditional transactional matters—such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financing transactions and governance considerations—as well as technology licensing and development transactions, strategic management of technology assets, and the establishment and optimization of technology development and commercialization programs. Our litigators have extensive experience with respect to patent, trade secret, antitrust, general commercial, securities and shareholder derivative litigation, as well as related advisory matters and investigations.

The transactions and cases we handle within the technology sector frequently involve complex intellectual property issues, often of major strategic and financial importance to our clients. We have expansive knowledge and experience with respect to these matters, including strategic counseling, portfolio development and licensing and other exploitation, and our team is well versed in navigating United States Patent and Trademark Office regulations. We also provide counsel with respect to the regulatory horizon, develop legal frameworks for data ownership and licensing, and handle the acquisition of data and AI technologies.

Our work in this space is routinely recognized by third-party publications, including Law360, which has named the Firm a Technology Practice Group of the Year, and New York Law Journal, which honored us with the “Innovation Award” for “creative and inspiring approaches and forward‑thinking firms.”
