Sidley is pleased to announce that Clive Gringras has joined the firm as a partner in the Commercial Litigation and Disputes practice in London. Prior to joining Sidley, he was head of the Technology, Media and Telecoms practice at CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP.
Mr. Gringras is a leading international-facing contentious, AI, and transactional tech lawyer representing global 100 companies. His practice focuses on bet-the-company litigation and technology-rich cross-border transactions, including advising on regulatory investigations and litigation, antitrust, and a wide range of AI and cyber issues.
He is widely acclaimed as a leading lawyer to global technology companies, has 27 years of experience, and received Microsoft’s Law Firm Leader Award. His disputes work includes consumer defense, antitrust and a wide range of enforcement matters, IP disputes, and cybercrime. His transactional work includes advising on large-scale licensing, collaboration, and development agreements.
Mr. Gringras has been called to give evidence to four UK Parliamentary Inquiries on spam, information security, AI and regulation of the Internet. He is highly ranked in both Chambers UK and Legal 500 UK for his ‘depth of expertise in contentious and transactional matters involving technology clients, including Fortune 100 companies.’
“Clive is a known leader in helping our existing clients in the technology sector navigate through complex regulatory issues and investigations, including the cutting-edge legal developments in AI,” said Yvette Ostolaza, Chair of Sidley’s Management Committee and Executive Committee member. “As regulators increase their enforcement powers from rapidly evolving technology laws, we anticipate more of our clients seeking the highest level of strategic legal advice from Sidley’s global platform across four continents.”
