The team is also sought out by internet service providers, over-the-top (OTT) media services, technology providers, e-commerce and social media platforms, and telecom infrastructure companies; its experience covers the full range of corporate and regulatory matters as well as obtaining all necessary permits and licenses required under local legislation.
