Cablevisión is one of Latin America’s largest cable television operators and one of the region’s main telecommunications companies, operating pay-tv, internet and telephone services across Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. With a customer base of approximately three million people and the fast moving nature of the industry, legal support to the company is required to be comprehensive, flexible and dynamic.

The company’s legal affairs are handled thematically, with operations and human resources led by Maria Torrens and criminal matters and piracy led by Sergio Piris. Nominators praised the entire legal team as a standout in the Latin American media sector, particularly the team’s management of relationships with broadcast and regulatory bodies, in addition to assisting in intellectual property and privacy matters.
