Practices

Technology, Media & Telecommunications

We advise on cutting-edge projects and are at the forefront of change across the TMT sector.

We excel at providing pan-European advice to businesses that are highly regulated and those with business models that are driven by IP and technology. In this constantly evolving industry our team work quickly and efficiently when responding to the almost weekly legal and technological developments in the industry.

We help our clients create and exploit media assets, navigate the changing world of networks and devices and the rapid growth of broadband access. We assist our clients as they adapt to the new media and communications environment - from 'traditional' media such as publishing, film and TV to new media such as interactive and social media, telecommunication services and technology provisions. We also advise on copyright, media tax issues, technological legislative changes, cloud computing, data protection, digital media and m-payments.

We work with a broad client base which includes some of the biggest names in the business. Our clients range from ambitious start-ups to global players which all belong to a fast-paced sector, fuelled by innovation.

Our team of specialists not only provide advice on complex legal issues, they also advise on commercial issues and technological advances. We are passionate about submerging ourselves in this sector and often second lawyers to clients and recruit from the TMT sector.

We aim to be the go-to law firm for our clients; our multidisciplinary team provide legal advice on a wide range of issues – we are leading corporate lawyers, regulatory lawyers, trade mark lawyers, data protection lawyers and litigators, and working together can cater for our clients' every need.
