Telecommunications Law

Telecommunications Law

With experience in electronic communications, we advise and follow disputes by treating operators’ commercial relationships and regulatory duties as a whole. The nature of the service, the infrastructure and customer relationships are examined together with sector practice; legal assessments are made with the relationship between the technical operation of communications activities and the requirements of the applicable rules kept in view.

We support clients from market entry and authorisation through inter-operator contracts, subscription relationships and regulatory reviews; arrangements on access, interconnection and infrastructure use are assessed as to technical requirements and contractual liability. In administrative sanctions and commercial disputes we conduct applications, defence and litigation within the relevant sector rules, and we take the legal and technical features of the file into account at every stage.
