On the corporate side, we provide business solutions in a pro-active way. We invest time in understanding your business, maintaining a close supporting relationship as well as providing advice. We are not "just here for the deals"!

Technology

Taylors is one of the few law firms anywhere where you will meet a lawyer who does not have to have TCP/IP explained in words of one syllable. (Don't ask him about subnet masking, though, if you fear for life and sanity.)

Taylors is practically unique in having a lawyer who can actually program a computer (Perl, C, C++, some Pascal), write HTML(As in most of this site) and who knows how the internet works from years (starting in 1991, with JaNET) of practical experience.

Overall, Taylors has several lawyers with practical experience and a sound working knowledge of a wide range of technologies, from heavy industry to high technology. We deliver pragmatic advice on structuring deals to speed delivery and cut costs, and our own e-commerce and telematics experience gives us a good basis from which to help you toward the brave new world of the internet.
