Eversheds LLP is a true technology, media and communications sector specialist with a strong UK and international practice. We have a track record of commercial and regulatory work in this sector, where our key advantage is a deep understanding of market structure and industry practice, the constantly evolving regulatory rule book, network and equipment issues (both in relation to software and hardware), and intellectual property issues.

We ensure that we bring our practical understanding of the sector and market structure, wireless comms technologies, industry practice and the regulatory environment to financing transactions, M&A and public offerings, as well as when disputes arise and need to be resolved.
