Lovells has extensive experience of advising businesses in the TMT field.  Many of our lawyers have worked for companies in the IT/telecoms industries, either as in-house counsel or as members of the technical staff.  We are familiar with the regulatory environment in which these companies operate and are well used to dealing with technical subject matter.  The success of our practice was recognised in 2004 by two international awards.

Our technology clients cover an extremely broad range, including companies engaged in software development, IT outsourcing, chip design and manufacture, the design of encryption products and many other technical fields.  We have been at the forefront of developments in commercial media of all kinds and act for some of the most famous brands in broadcasting and media content.  In the telecoms area we act for both incumbent operators and new market entrants, and are familiar with the changing regulatory regimes in Europe and Asia.

Our international corporate, finance and specialist technology teams work closely together on a wide range of transactions, and we have made TMT a particular focus of our corporate practice.  We keep up to date with developments in technology as well as developments in the law, and have considerable experience of the introduction of new products and services such as open source software, location-based services and offshore outsourcing.
