What can I do for you

David is a digital technology and data lawyer, and leads our technology work in Birmingham. He advises on the commercial, information/data and contractual implications of digital technology: microchips and gadgets, networks and cloud services, apps and enterprise systems, security measures, and the data that flows in their veins. David advises across all sectors served by Mills & Reeve.

What do others say

The CEO of a client who provides software for the financial services sector said, “… absolutely outstanding, and I don’t recall ever working with a lawyer with such commercial acumen combined with this level of technical awareness and understanding, and its implications for the client”.

Supporting your ambitions

David mixes legal expertise with a deep interest in (and good understanding of) the technical subject matter that he advises on, and the commercial and risk implications. Recent clients who entrusted their ambitions to him were setting out to bring new or revised digital products to market as a key step in their growth. They are often embarking on major projects where IT or data are key enablers, and put technical and commercial excellence and integrity at the forefront of their brand identity. 

What else should you know?

Many people know this about David, because he is always talking about it: he has a life-long passion for two-wheeled transport. He loves off-road mountain biking, motorcycling, and (with his two children) even riding stunt scooters in the local skate-bowl. If you can agree that falling off sideways, at a standstill, doesn't count: he never falls off!
