The telecoms industry is changing; the transformation is fast, bold and irreversible. Modern consumer and business life depends on telecom networks, and the revolution offers businesses an opportunity to rebuild their position, adjust their approach and innovate.

We have unsurpassed experience in advising new technology communications service providers on international telecoms regulatory matters. We have telecoms experts across our extensive footprint and can integrate these lawyers into a single coordinated team capable of delivering seamless cross-jurisdictional regulatory advice. Whether dealing with emerging trends and functionalities such as nomadic service access and extra-territorial use of numbering, or advising on other areas of regulation including personal data protection, data sovereignty (localisation) and surveillance requirements (lawful intercept and data retention), we are fully aware of the significance of the key regulatory areas for new technology service deployment, and are equally accustomed to advising on these issues in a multi-jurisdictional context.

With over 400 dedicated Tech & Comms lawyers based across our 28 international offices we have one of the largest global teams focused on this sector.
