Technology & communications
The current spread of digital networks and devices and the rapid
growth of broadband access, is resulting in the convergence of
traditional broadcasting with the telecoms and technology
industries. The communications industry is evolving, gearing up for
changes such as the digital switchover, the potential extension of
TV regulation to internet content and the European Commission’s
re-regulation of international roaming.
We are at the forefront of this rapidly changing industry,
advising communications organisations on the issues that impact
them most. From the resolution of disputes to negotiating the
current regulatory framework we offer a full range of legal
expertise and industry knowledge.
Our information technology clients vary from start-ups to the
largest global players. They all belong to a fast-paced
sector, fuelled on innovation and demanding constant evolution in
management thinking.
Our services are specifically tailored to the technology market
and our practitioners are leading thinkers in their field. We
regularly second lawyers to clients and recruit from the IT sector,
and we pride ourselves on a deep understanding of technology and
business issues and the challenges our clients face. As with
this sector, there is much overlap between technology and
telecommunications and media industries. As such, many of our
lawyers advise across the TMT sector
The fully integrated multi-disciplinary practice advises on all
areas of law relevant to those in the communications industry.
