About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP

We have unrivalled TMT sector knowledge and extensive resources across the globe. We are able to service our clients’ needs from hubs in Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Added to this we have a specific focus on emerging markets, including Africa, where we have acted for leading players such as Bharti Airtel, IHS, Etisalat and MTN.

We differentiate ourselves by offering the full range of technology, media and entertainment and telecoms advisory services including corporate, regulatory, commercial, competition, intellectual property, dispute resolution, finance and tax, rather than limiting the practice to a single niche area.

We believe that the combination of our full service global TMT knowledge and deep experience and know-how in Africa enables us to provide a real value added service to clients doing business in Africa's emerging TMT sector which sets us apart from our competitors.
