Allens' TMT lawyers advise on all technology-related issues, including software and system developments and procurements, cloud arrangements, outsourcing and offshoring arrangements, e-commerce agreements, domain names, IT dispute resolution and IT aspects of corporate transactions.

We act in many of Australia’s largest and most significant information technology deals, as well as assist small internet start-ups with their quite different legal requirements. We have acted on both sides of outsourcing negotiations, for vendors and purchasers of technology businesses, for software and hardware suppliers and customers, and for companies drafting technology patents.

We have acted for participants in every sector of the telecommunications industry. We advise on the Australian regulatory framework, regional telecommunications legislation, third generation telephony, shared facilities access, litigation, privacy and competition laws.

We provide Media & Broadcasting law advice to television broadcasters, subscription television operators, radio networks, Internet web portals, Internet-based distributors of goods and services, film producers and financiers, newspapers, book publishers and advertising agencies (e.g. cross media reforms, sports law, commercialisation of digital content, access, intellectual property, advertising, content rights, content regulations etc.).
