Clients frequently engage the TMT team to support them throughout large-scale local and cross-border transactions due to its positioning on the local market and wide-ranging experience in handling assignments with strong international focus.
The team also is retained on a substantial number of assignments from participants in the audiovisual industry (singers, actors, vloggers) relating to the protection of their rights in the Digital Single Market.
In the past year, the department has been instructed with numerous transactions in the TMT sector, among which also happen to be some of the largest ones on the local market (sale of the Bulgarian Telecommunications Company, acquisition of Nova Broadcasting Group, investment in Bulpros).
