Withers tech is a valuable partner to SGTech, with its deep bench of highly experienced lawyers, skilled in advising on the full range of legal areas for tech companies. We have been working with the team in Singapore to deliver timely and quality content that is highly relevant and beneficial to our tech members. A key example was the sharing on legal ramifications of the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act when it was first passed. The team delivers practical and commercially strategic advice and knowledge with confidence stemming from their vast experience working with diverse industry sectors on the entire spectrum of tech law.

Jonathan has been a great help in addressing key data acquisition and licensing issues as we build our database and business model for our proptech platform. He has a wide breadth of expertise in the tech law space, from drafting of data transfer, licensing and subscription agreements to providing commercial and timely corporate advice. Jonathan and his team are well equipped, responsive and go the extra mile – exactly what we need to establish our business on a firm legal foundation.

Senserbot is a high growth tech start-up from A*STAR and we have been working with Jonathan Kok and his team on the protection of our intellectual property internationally. Jonathan comes highly recommended by my contacts and has proven to be a very professional and helpful advisor whom I can trust in providing great advice for IP protection and practical strategies for my IP commercialisation. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team; and look forward to working more with them on the next stages of our IP strategy as Senserbot expands globally and venture into new robots for other Line Of Business.

I see Withers tech as more of a sparring partner than my lawyers. We spend time thinking through different scenarios and discussing how certain decisions could positively or negatively impact the future of Meatable, and this process crystallised our priorities. Sharmela finds the exact right balance between being the ‘formal lawyer’, and being pragmatic and thinking proactively.

From 2019, Withers joined Genie, along with Oxford University, Imperial College and Barclays Bank in a £1 million grant project funded by the UK Government's InnovateUK in developing AI anonymisation for legal contracts and explainability for legal AI. This highlights both Genie and Withers' commitment to be at the forefront of legal technology and AI in the market. The collaboration resulted in an academic paper published in EM NLP, one of the top NLP conferences in the world, and technology that is used in Genie AI's product today.

The Withers team have helped us for many years through investment completion, in-licensing multiple technologies and with our commercialisation activities. They are our trusted lawyers who provide the right pragmatic and practical advice and we very much value their support as we grow our business.

Personal, detailed and quick. Withers tech provide solutions to problems whilst still ensuring we are fully protected.

Their knowledge of the tech industry is very deep. Their contacts and network are really valuable. They have seen most things before we do. They have been doing this type of advice for so long that they just know it.

We at Lexicom Technology pride ourselves on our technical expertise and our transparent client relationships. Withers have been key advisors since our inception in 2006. Over the years they have provided invaluable advice to our growing business, representing us on both commercial and private client matters and over a wide range of subjects ranging from domestic property law to international commercial negotiation. They are eminently approachable and always extremely responsive to our enquires. In any arena they have provided a consistently substantial upper hand. I cannot recommend them enough.
