Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT)
Home ›
Our team of seasoned lawyers brings over 50 years of combined experience in the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sector. Having worked across multiple jurisdictions and continents, we possess a deep understanding of the complex legal and regulatory challenges that technology businesses and telecom operators face. Over the years, we have represented governments, regulatory authorities, multinational telecom operators, software developers, and tech companies, advising on diverse areas of law including intellectual property (IP), data protection and privacy, telecommunications regulation, broadcasting, and licensing.
We collaborate closely with engineers and economists to remain at the forefront of innovation and emerging technologies. Our lawyers have advised on a wide range of disruptive developments — from Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, to regulatory frameworks governing data centres, cybersecurity, undersea cables, national broadband networks, mobile spectrum auctions, 5G infrastructure, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), and low-Earth orbit satellites.
Our experience extends to drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements, including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) contracts, network-sharing arrangements, hardware and software licences, and technology transfer agreements — ensuring compliance, clarity, and commercial strength at every stage.
