    Technology, Media and Telecommunications

    Innovation abounds in the technology, media, entertainment and telecommunications space across Europe, continuing to attract both attention and investment from around the globe. 

    ADVANT Altana is a trusted advisor to a wide range of significant players in this fast-moving and dynamic sector, which is characterized by constant evolution with rapid legislative and regulatory changes.

    We count among our clients in the technology space some of the world’s leading tech businesses, including software developers, infrastructure providers, and technology services organizations in areas such as SaaS, hosting, and e-commerce.

    We regularly advise clients on issues such as commercial contracts; personal data and intellectual property protection; M&A and joint ventures; new data-driven business models; artificial intelligence; outsourcing projects and arrangements; complex IT project management, implementation and disputes; tendering and procurement; finance and investment; and software and open-source licensing, among many others.

    Moreover, we advise and assist the main telecommunication operators active in the European market – such as electronic communication services, electronic communications network providers, and broadcasters – in relation to setting up their businesses (including obtainment of authorizations); regulatory issues, administrative matters and alternative dispute resolution procedures before regulatory authorities; mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and outsourcing projects; commercial contracts to establish or manage infrastructure; the creation, provision and management of services or content; customer and end-user relations; and the implementation and management of media convergence.

    Specifically in the fields of media and entertainment, we work with the leading companies and creative minds behind many of the major media assets consumed across Europe and around the world, supporting their financing, creation and distribution. We know the media ecosystem, its players, its changing business models and its pitfalls. We help media companies to foster the opportunities of digitalization, to navigate around its complexities, and to protect their intellectual property online. Our areas of expertise include copyright, image and other IP rights; media regulation; state aid for creative endeavors; collecting societies registration; global formats and licensing; and IP or other commercial disputes.
