Jersey legal experts for IP rights and technology issues
Technology, data, and intellectual property are increasingly central to business operations and to business risk. As digital ventures grow and innovation accelerates, disputes in this space have become more frequent, more complex, and more commercially sensitive. At Parslows LLP, we advise on Jersey-based tech and IP litigation, from software contract breaches to shareholder fallouts in digital ventures. Our approach is fast, discreet, and commercially grounded, with confidentiality and reputation at its core.
Technology disputes often arise from contractual breakdowns, particularly where software development, licensing, or service delivery is involved. These matters can be technically intricate, with disagreements over functionality, performance, scope, or timelines. In many cases, the underlying contract may not fully reflect the expectations of the parties or the realities of the technology being delivered. We act swiftly to assess the situation, identify the key issues, and provide clear, strategic advice aimed at resolution.
Intellectual property disputes, meanwhile, frequently involve questions of ownership, infringement, or misuse. Whether the IP in question relates to branding, proprietary software, data, or creative content, the commercial value and reputational impact can be significant. We advise on enforcement and defence of IP rights, including copyright, trademarks, and confidential information, and we are experienced in dealing with disputes arising from joint ventures, employment relationships, and commercial collaborations.
Shareholder disputes in tech ventures are also increasingly common, particularly where founders, investors, and developers have differing views on direction, valuation, or control. These matters often involve overlapping legal and personal dynamics, and we help clients navigate them with clarity and discretion. Our understanding of both corporate and technology law allows us to provide integrated advice that supports both legal rights and commercial outcomes.
In all cases, our focus is on resolving disputes efficiently and discreetly. We recognise that technology and IP disputes often involve sensitive information, reputational concerns, and ongoing business relationships. Our team handles these matters with care, ensuring that confidentiality is maintained and that the legal process supports—not undermines—broader commercial objectives.
We are experienced in representing clients before the Royal Court of Jersey. Where urgent action is required, we are equipped to seek interim relief, including injunctions to prevent misuse of IP or unauthorised access to systems and data. We also coordinate with overseas counsel where cross-border elements are involved, ensuring that our clients’ interests are protected across jurisdictions.
Our independence is a key strength. We are often instructed in situations where larger firms may be conflicted due to their involvement with institutional service providers or technology platforms. This allows us to act decisively and without constraint, providing focused, conflict-free advice tailored to the needs of each client.
At Parslows LLP, we combine legal expertise with commercial insight. Whether you are facing a dispute over a software agreement, a challenge to your IP rights, or a breakdown in a digital partnership, we are here to help you navigate the complexities with confidence and clarity.
