Telecoms

We are acutely aware of the pressures facing your business with the unstoppable drive of convergence and the commoditisation of services and products. This is leading to enormous pressure on telecoms, media, software and IT companies across the globe.

Throughout our careers, our lawyers have advised fixed & wireless network operators, service providers and communications technology suppliers on a range of issues, including IT procurement, outsourcing, offshoring, IPR and content, competition/regulatory and commercial disputes.

We provide significant expertise within this sector. In particular, Bobby Gill has spent nearly one year exclusively advising Vodafone Group on its global transactions with major corporates including Cisco, Microsoft, GE, Nokia, Motorola and Huawei. During his time at Mallesons, Sydney, Bobby advised Telstra on a range of commercial and technology related issues, including the outsourcing of its directory assistance business, which still represents the largest call centre outsourcing in Australian history.
