The Roadmap
Welcome to The Roadmap, the technology law podcast series from Bristows. In this podcast, our technology lawyers dive into the digital transformation trends that are re-shaping modern businesses, even entire industries. In each episode, we will unpack a particular technology or trend – whether a type of transformational project, the latest market practice or a regulatory change – and explain what our clients need to understand in order to add value to their business. If you have any feedback, questions or comments, please email us at theroadmap@bristows.com - we'd love to hear from you. Also, find all the latest episodes on our tech focused site, The Cookie Jar, for views on matters shaping technology: https://www.bristows.com/the-cookie-jar-podcast-videos/
