Bird & Bird’s APAC and UK Tech Transactions team, spanning our offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, London, and now with valuable contributions from our team in Ireland, has contributed to the latest edition of the International Comparative Legal Technology Sourcing guide.

This comprehensive guide serves as a highly relevant resource for practitioners, offering multi-jurisdictional insight into the intricacies of technology sourcing regulations. Covering a wide range of technology sourcing topics, it explores the issues of procurement processes, dispute resolution procedures, intellectual property rights, data protection and information security, employment law, outsourcing of technology services, software licensing, cloud computing services, AI and machine learning and blockchain.

Mark Leach, our Global Head of Tech Transactions and Will Bryson, Tech Transaction Senior Associate, have shared their expertise in an article focused on Sourcing AI solutions. In this article, they consider the legal issues and risks of implementing AI systems, they also discuss how and where to address and mitigate these challenges. As technology sourcing lawyers face ever-evolving challenges in a fast-paced digital world, Mark and Will’s insights provide through consideration of the risks that come with these new and emerging technologies.

The International Comparative Legal Guide was first published in ICLG – Technology Sourcing. The guide is free to access via the following links:

I’m the lead partner of our Australian IT and Communications Groups in Sydney, where our clients are at the cutting edge of legal and regulatory developments in the region.

I advise on commercial issues and regulatory matters for clients in all facets of the information technology and communications industries. Whether buying or supplying IT and communications, I provide detailed advice and contracting experience on digital businesses, software, cloud, distribution, confidentiality, e-commerce, security, IT procurement and outsourcing. I have acted in a number of patent, copyright and trade mark cases.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I held a senior legal role at Optus, Australia’s number two telecoms carrier, where I was involved in negotiating large scale telecoms supply and acquisition agreements and was the key lawyer responsible for the firm-wide procurement function. In addition, I was involved in regulatory issues, industry code development and was responsible for managing a number of high profile disputes. I also spent a year on internal secondment to the national Managing Director of Optus Business.

Over many years, I have been a prominent contributor to public policy discussion in the industry and mainstream press as a result of my extensive practice in convergence, social media, privacy and data protection.
