Burges Salmon appoints new senior technology and data specialist

Prior to this, Cuell led the technology practice at law firm Foot Anstey for over a decade, advising clients on technology work including major technology transformation projects, the implementation and outsourcing of technology solutions.

He has supported clients in a wide variety of sectors including finance, transport, utilities, emergency services, military, retail, energy and pure technology.

Cuell also has experience in the supply of technology services and licensing and cloud services, as well as advising organisations on the supply and implementation of new technologies (such as drones, quantum computing and AI).

The consultant previously worked at Burges Salmon, and so is re-joining a firm he knows well. His return to Burges Salmon is testament to the firm’s rapidly growing technology practice and positive and collaborative culture. Earlier this year, Burges Salmon was named the RollOnFriday ‘Best Law Firm to Work at 2022’, a unique award based on the views of the firm’s people.

Martin Cook, a technology and fintech partner at Burges Salmon, said: “Technology is a significant focus for our firm, and an important growth area both for us and our clients, so we are excited to welcome a lawyer of Martin’s calibre back to Burges Salmon.

Cook continued: “Martin has spent many years working on a wide range of significant technology projects for a diverse client base, so he has a genuine understanding of the issues that clients and in-house teams face both on a daily basis and on major programmes of work.”
