Data, Tech & Telecoms
Regulatory expertise is the key to digitalisation.
There is hardly a business model or project related to digitalisation or technology that can do without regulatory expertise. On the contrary, it is frequently the regulatory framework that determines the design of a business model, project or transaction and often its success or failure will hinge on maximising regulatory possibilities while staying within their bounds.
We structure large, regulatory-driven projects and transactions in the tech sector as well as new business models. Based on our experience as a market-leading firm in core regulatory areas over many years, we assist our clients in implementing their projects in a way that they will stand the test of time and we also provide seamless, one-stop advice – from inception to roll-out – on the contractual, commercial and corporate relationships involved.
