In recent decades, technological advancement has become a top priority for each and every organization across the entire business landscape and all around the globe. As companies started to embrace digitalization and new technologies, the impact of technology became exponential, disrupting business processes and forcing it to become an intertwined element of every industry, as opposed to just being a stand-alone sector. With this came new challenges to legal minds, who now need to frame novel products and business models within existing legal frameworks that are often less agile and adapt all too slowly to economic realities.

TOP TIER LAW FIRM
2017 – 2018 – 2019 – 2020
As a firm, we have always been involved in advising players in the technology, media and telecom (TMT) sectors in connection with their national and regional projects. Over the years, we have developed into a top-tier TMT practice in our jurisdiction, by working with some of the most prominent actors in the sector, from fast-charging start-ups to global giants in digital and industrial technology.
Meanwhile, our work is no longer national, as it involves assisting clients in multi-jurisdictional settings, whether in terms of regional or global distribution, with the setting-up of global operations and attracting investment from international investors. Our clients seek our advice for our knowledge of the market context and of the competitive environment in which they operate, for our connections in the market and the ability to make meaningful business introductions, as well as for our multidisciplinary approach to our transactional, advisory and litigation work.
