Our team is made up of individuals from a range of other backgrounds including computer science, engineering, biotechnology, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, finance, and tax, making our group a one-stop-shop for legal advice on all transactions across the spectrum of CMT industries.  The integration of our intellectual property group and our patent and trade marks industry practice allows us to also offer a comprehensive intellectual property service.

The dynamic nature of the telecommunications market, makes critical the provision of specialist knowledge and professional advice.  We have acted for participants in every sector of the telecoms industry, including telecommunications carriers, resellers, Internet service providers, equipment suppliers and large corporate and government users of telecoms services.  We advise on regional telecommunications legislation, the Australian regulatory framework, third generation telephony, shared facilities access, litigation, privacy and competition laws.  Developing new and innovative business solutions is what we do best.

Our reputation and experience in media law is unparalleled.  We advise and represent the interests of television broadcasters, pay television operators, radio networks, newspaper proprietors, film producers, record companies, and book publishers, on all aspects ranging from regulatory and access, defamation, suppression orders, advertising and copyright, through to acquisitions, joint ventures and IPOs.

We act in many of Australia's largest and most significant information technology deals, as well as assist small Internet start-ups with their quite different legal requirements.  We have acted on both sides of outsourcing negotiations, for vendors and purchasers of technology businesses, for software and hardware suppliers and customers, and for companies drafting technology patents.
