The technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sector is constantly evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities for businesses to thrive. As such, dynamic and commercially-focused legal advice is required to keep you ahead of the curve. This is where Thursfields thrives.

Innovation

as Standard

A huge demand for innovative products and pioneering services has led to the TMT sector evolving faster than perhaps any other in the country. Learning to adapt has been crucial for any businesses seeking to grow their operations, whether that’s by taking advantage of new developments or complying with the latest regulations — tackling these obstacles requires not only legal advice with innovation at its core, but also a pragmatic and focused approach that ensures your interests are protected.

Whatever part of the TMT sphere you operate in, Thursfields’ team of solicitors combines technical excellence with an in-depth knowledge of the challenges you face on a day-to-day basis to ensure the support we provide is both practical and commercial. From securing investment and finance to taking care of your ongoing needs, we provide a holistic approach to TMT law, meaning your success is at the forefront of everything we do.

Our TMT

Legal Services

Thursfields’ team of TMT solicitors provide bespoke legal advice spanning a range of disciplines. No matter what your objectives, we can deliver. We specialise in:

Corporate & Commercial Advice Commercial Real Estate Solutions Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Corporate & Commercial Advice

From guidance with capital markets and financing to data security and privacy issues, TMT businesses require extensive support when it comes to corporate and commercial matters. You may also need guidance on areas such as mergers and acquisitions, and ensuring that you have the right business model to capitalise on new opportunities. Whatever you’re looking for, the technology, media and telecoms law team at Thursfields are here to help.

Our solicitors can assist with everything from drawing up contracts to dealing with intellectual property protection and exploitation. We also deal with the day-to-day obligations involved in running your company, such as tenders, outsourcing contracts and managed services contracts, as well as domestic and international acquisitions or disposals to provide a well-rounded service that you can rely upon.

Commercial Real Estate Solutions

The nature of the TMT industry presents businesses with a host of unique challenges and opportunities. Telecoms companies require permission to build masts to improve communication, while media outlets may want to occupy part of an existing building to give themself an enhanced regional presence — without having to uproot from their headquarters. Whatever your needs, it’s important to have reliable legal advice to guide you through every step.

This is where Thursfields can help. Our team has advised TMT businesses on a wide range of issues, such as creating Wayleave agreements for utility companies and landowners, arranging licences to occupy parts of existing premises, and converting agricultural land to solar farms. Our solicitors also have experience of working with landowners and telecoms companies when negotiating lease agreements for telecoms masts.

Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Given the scale of the technology, media, and telecommunications sector, the scope for corporate disputes can be vast. A wide range of legal skills is required to provide the comprehensive, commercially-focused advice you need. Not only that, but the solicitors you instruct must be able to balance offering innovative solutions to amicably resolve disagreements, with robustly defending your interests during litigation.

The TMT solicitors at Thursfields can help with all of this and more. We have amassed a great deal of experience in a broad spectrum of matters such as unpaid invoice claims, shareholder and customer disputes, the lease and sale of assets, and breaches of confidentiality agreements. Our involvement has been instrumental in securing a positive result for our clients.
