A Multifaceted Technology and Media Sector Needing Comprehensive Legal Coverage

The technology, media, and telecom sector brings together very diverse activities under one umbrella: from software startups to major telecom service providers and digital media platforms, and each of these activities is subject to a different regulatory framework requiring specialized understanding.

Software Licensing Contracts and Data Processing Agreements

We review and draft software licensing contracts between software developers and their clients, and data processing agreements governing the relationship between cloud service providers and their customers, clarifying each party's liability when a data security breach occurs.

Regulatory Compliance for Telecom Service Providers

We track regulatory compliance for telecom service providers before the Communications, Space and Technology Commission, including licensing requirements, service quality, and regulated pricing for essential services.

Protecting Copyright in Digital Content

We help digital media companies protect copyright in their content, from articles and videos to podcasts, and act against any unauthorized copying or republishing of this content on other platforms.

Licensing and Distribution Disputes for Media Content

We handle licensing and distribution disputes between media content producers and carrier platforms, particularly over interpreting the scope of the granted license, its time period, and the geographic regions it covers.

Cloud Computing and Data Center Contracts

We review cloud computing and data center contracts, including agreed service level agreement (SLA) clauses and liability for service outages or data loss, sensitive clauses for businesses relying on the continuity of these services.

Intellectual Property in Software and Applications

We help software companies protect the intellectual property of their products, from source code to innovative user interfaces, and handle infringement disputes from local or international competitors.

Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Regulatory Compliance

With growing use of artificial intelligence technologies, we help companies understand emerging regulatory frameworks around algorithmic transparency and protecting data used in training models.

Fiber Optics and Telecom Infrastructure

We help fiber optic laying and telecom infrastructure companies obtain excavation and right-of-way permits across municipal and private land, complex procedures requiring coordination with several bodies simultaneously.
