Telecom services
Our expertise in the telecommunication industry allows us to offer services both on the regulatory and commercial levels.
Our practical understanding of the industry is making us the preferred contact not only of the legal team but also of the operational teams which are happy to be assisted in translating their technical, operational and commercial issues into legal terms.
Our lawyers offer advice on all issues that may arise for telecom operators and other actors of the industry, whether in France, in other developed countries or in emerging countries.
Such advice may be related, for example, to the structuring of their distribution networks.
Moreover, our firm has developed an expertise in the drafting of services contracts (roaming, interconnection, etc.), partnership agreements and contracts for the supply of content services to operators (SMS, WAP, GPRS, 3G and UMTS).
Our lawyers are especially sought-after to draft agreements for novel services where there is no precedent and which require a comprehensive understanding of the technology as well as of the client's expectations.
Providing commercial advice to operators and ISP has always gone hand in hand with providing regulatory advice. Through our in depth knowledge of the Telecom Services throughout Europe, Asia and beyond, we are able to provide regulatory advice as well as anticipating the way in which regulation is changing.
We regularly advise clients on retail and interconnection charges, licensing requirements, frequencies, numbering plans, including scarce resources. We can also advise on the current proposals for the fibre roll-out, including all legal issues pertaining to the sharing of the infrastructures.
