Telecoms

We advise on the full range of transactions carried out in the telecoms sector and are internationally recognised in TMT sector for our leading expertise in the industry.

Giambrone’s considerable telecoms industry experience extends across all major European jurisdictions where we operate and we have been at the forefront of telecoms liberalization across Europe in the last decade. Through our relationships with leading law firms in other jurisdictions, we offer a multi-national and multi-disciplinary capability focused on the telecoms sector.

Our multi-lingual lawyers have the benefit of having worked within the industry for incumbent operators, MVNOs and start-ups, as well as in telecoms-related investment banking. This deep industry and legal understanding enables our clients to benefit from cost-effective, strategic first-class advice.

Our telecoms practitioners understand the particular requirements of the telecoms sector and are familiar with a broad range of technologies including internet, wireless and satellite communications. Given the overlap and convergence with the technology sector, our Telecoms group works closely with our multidisciplinary Technology group.
