Tech Policy Forum

Our Tech Policy Forum supports dialogue with policymakers, businesses, academics and other stakeholders at the intersection of technology, law, and public policy.

We have held meetings in Brussels, focusing on the EU Data Act and Adtech, and are planning meetings on critical issues such as growth, innovation and the future of AI. The meetings in 2025 will take place in Europe, the USA, APAC throughout our network.

The Tech Policy Forum is supported by our Tech Policy Unit, which leads our work in helping our clients deal with the rapidly evolving political, legal and regulatory landscape. We ensure our clients are aware of critical developments, help them deal with them, and engage with policymakers to contribute to the creation of clear, effective, and proportionate policy that supports growth and innovation.

Effective regulation of complex technologies requires broad engagement and diverse perspectives. Our Tech Policy Forum aims to that support innovation while mitigating unforeseen consequences.
