About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Our Firm is well known for its one stop shop service to companies in the TMT sector covering corporate, regulatory, employment, finance, tax and litigation advice, covering telecommunications, media and information technologies, each led by a partner who knows and understands the business and all working as an integrated team.
We regularly assist major film studios and production companies in the structured financing of film and television productions.
Many of the structured financing projects we participate in frequently require additional legal advice and we regularly assist our clients in drafting production related agreements. These international productions also frequently require assistance from colleagues in other departments such as Employment, Immigration Services, and Tax, which allow us to position us as a one-stop-shop for major studios.
We regularly assist clients with the drafting and negotiation of national and multijurisdictional agreements that have IT or technological elements.
We provide advice on the drafting and negotiation of agreements involving a connectivity element: traditional telecom agreements; agreements between mobile telephone and virtual mobile telephone operators; Internet of Things or Machine-to-Machine agreements. We provide advice on any aspect of telecommunications regulation such as the granting of numbering resources and radio spectrum licenses and the provision of traditional voice and data services.
