Technology, Media, and Telecommunications
MAIN SERVICES
Governmental Affairs
One of our important areas of activity consists in advising our clients in promoting and participating in the regulatory preparation processes in the technology and telecommunications sector. We have advised multiple clients in the study of the appropriate legal tools and options available to encourage or prevent the publication of different regulations, as well as in their analysis and specific drafting of sector regulations. We also serve as the link between the client and any governmental authority, providing our support and experience in these types of relationships.
Our support also consists of the support and representation of our clients before chambers and business associations, where our role is to promote the position of our clients within the chamber or association and being aware of any matter that may have an impact on the business of our clients.
Public Acquisitions
Due to the diverse activities at governmental level in the TMT sector, it is necessary to have a team of highly specialized lawyers in the sector with the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve success in public tenders and other acquisition proceedings. Over the last years, we have advised multiple clients in the preparation and participation in public acquisition proceedings in the TMT sector, from the review and clarification of the acquisition terms and conditions, to the preparation of responses, formalization of agreements, and the execution and final compliance of the same.
Regulatory compliance
We are one of the few firms in Mexico with true day-to-day regulatory compliance experience for companies in the telecommunications and media sector. Our lawyers have advised several companies in the sector on regulatory compliance solutions, network infrastructure and regulatory analysis, understanding the legal requirements necessary to carry out one or more regulated activities, and obtaining all kinds of permits, registrations, and concessions for all types of telecommunications networks and related services, from complex satellite operators, to modern mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), including all types of regulatory authorizations and compliance requirements in their day-to-day operations.
Representation before international organizations
As part of our services, we offer comprehensive legal advice on telecommunications matters, including, without limitation, representation and assistance to our clients before all types of international telecommunications organizations, in which we have unparalleled experience in the country. Over the years, our firm has advised multiple telecommunications operators in their participation in coordination and frequency allocation procedures before the International Telecommunications Union, as well as before other bodies related to the sector.
Communication media
We have multiple years of experience advising clients in the media sector, including obtaining all types of authorizations and concessions in broadcasting matters and its regulatory compliance. We have advised several clients in the preparation and negotiation of agreements for the film industry, as well as public and private agreements in the radio and television sectors, in the design of their promotions, and other aspects of legal compliance in the matter.
Likewise, we have specialized in the regulation applicable to content. This is why we support a wide variety of clients on this type of issues, including radio and television advertising. Content and advertising are issues already regulated in telecommunications and broadcasting laws and legal support will always be a tool that will allow clients to negotiate the best conditions in the agreements they execute.
Software & Technology Development
We have advised clients to design, negotiate, and implement all types of software and technology development agreements, including copyright protection and defense of our clients' rights in the matter.
