Telecommunications & Technology

Our Telecommunications and Technology Team advises corporate entities and individuals on the establishment and operation of telecommunications and technology companies.

Areas covered include:

  • Owning and operating fibre optic cables, satellites, satellite constellations and fibre optic cable networks
  • Owning and operating telecommunications support facilities
  • Owning, licensing and developing intellectual property rights and patents

We provide these services for companies with private and public ownership and deal with solving the practicalities of simple transactions through to the more difficult, technical issues associated with complex structured products. For instance, we have advised in relation to the structuring and operation of joint venture companies and the creation of companies which, after private equity investment, have subsequently been taken public.
