• transactional and regulatory telecommunications with particular expertise in network-related transactions such as procurements of goods and services relating to active infrastructure, passive infrastructure sale and leaseback deals, and network operations centres;

• commercial transactions, including joint venture, collaboration, strategic partnership, consortium, and distribution; and
• multi-jurisdictional advice, surveys and contract alignment projects.

We are specialists in a small handful of sectors - financial institutions, asset management and investment funds, TMT and life sciences - where we have deep knowledge and broad experience in these sectors.

Our clients tell us we are different because we leverage our vast experience of work on similar projects, for similar clients, to help them spot and resolve issues, deliver strategic guidance, and keep costs competitive, which ultimately enable our clients to deliver on their short, medium and long-term goals.

What's more, our clients like that we are always seeking to review how we deliver our advice and support. We use resource optimisation, process re-engineering and technology solutions to make our clients' lives easier.
