We’re excited to share this edition of Telescope, where we unpack the key legal issues and trends reshaping technology and AI in supplier-customer relationships across global markets as we look ahead to 2026. As tech companies increasingly supply cloud services, AI solutions, data platforms, and other digital infrastructure to highly regulated sectors, legal teams are now central to driving commercial success and managing risk in rapidly evolving markets. Inside, you’ll find practical insights on mastering complex tech contracts, covering IP, data, and AI-specific challenges, while ensuring compliance with new regulations like the EU AI Act and Data Act, as well as many other regulations around the world. We spotlight the growing need for strategic collaboration as legal, procurement, and technical teams navigate people-centric requirements, cross-border compliance, and data mobility. We highlight the evolving landscape of digital resilience, particularly in the financial, health, and industrial sectors, where new laws require robust risk management and operational adaptability. Our articles also address IP protection in the digital age, M&A trends driven by AI and de-risking, and fresh approaches to managing disputes and data center deals. Telescope offers you a roadmap to turn compliance into a competitive advantage, anticipate regulatory headwinds, and unlock opportunities – all while building trusted supplier-customer partnerships in the tech space. We hope you enjoy the read!
