Baker McKenzie S.A.S.’s prominent global platform is reflected in its TMT roster, with the team counting several global technology, telecoms and satellite giants among its representative clients, including AT&T, Salesforce, and Eutelsat OneWeb. The practice, which also acts for financial services and life sciences entities, is recognised for its marked focus on regulatory matters, including compliance, data protection and consumer law. The department is co-led by regulatory specialist Carolina Pardo, who additionally spearheads the competition area; and Angelica Navarro Acevedo, who — as a former advisor to the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce — also brings a significant competition and consumer law dimension to her work.
