Welcome to Orbital Law
We are experts in technology law. We specialise in all areas of technology from IT hardware to emerging technology and also advise on Data Privacy and Cyber Security. Our founders alone have over 40 years’ combined experience in advising and negotiating complex deals for a broad range of technologies.
We have structured our practice areas to reflect the needs of our clients with focus on three practice areas: emerging technology practice, privacy practice and our teamwork practice.
Our Practice Areas
Emerging Technology
We support corporates and technology companies looking to acquire or develop technology. We work with our clients to understand their requirements and needs, advise on legal risks and negotiate technology contracts that deliver the best outcomes.
Privacy
We provide companies with privacy advice and practical support in the form of data privacy audits, data privacy impact assessments, legal advice, training and workshops.
Teamwork
We support law firms and in-house legal departments who either do not have technology law expertise or have resource issues. We provide experienced technology lawyers who can join the team and contribute immediately.
