Globalisation is driven by the rapid development of information technologies and telecommunications. Access to modern telecoms and IT infrastructure and solutions is a must for virtually every business.
Our TMT Group in Warsaw advises clients on all aspects of telecommunications, media, technology, and intellectual property law, in both contentious and non-contentious matters.
We provide legal assistance with regard to: regulatory issues (including obtaining permits to undertake telecommunications activity and participation in tenders for the allocation of frequencies), preparing and negotiating contracts between telecommunications companies (interconnection contracts, including contracts with virtual network operators), supply contracts for telecommunications equipment, and regulations for the provision of telecommunications services, among other things.
The range of services we provide also includes assistance in proceedings run by the President of the Office of Electronic Communications. We also advise on capital transactions and mergers and acquisitions on the telecommunications market.
Our team has significant experience in advising clients on virtual mobile projects (MVNO co-branding, BLA etc). Acting for MNOs, MVNEs and MVNOs has given us a unique opportunity to gain experience and insight into these projects from all perspectives. We advise on preparing and negotiating contractual documentation, hardware sales, lease and purchase, software development and licensing, contingency planning and disaster recovery, data protection, as well as mergers and acquisitions. We help businesses to protect and enforce their IP rights across Central & Eastern Europe. We have also advised a number of clients on data protection law, including related legislation – particularly relevant to multinational organisations that transfer data across continents.
Our clients include telecommunication and media companies, Internet content providers, hardware and software suppliers, consultants and distributors, as well as users and exploiters of technology and related services, including several major financial institutions.
