Telecommunications in Germany

We have been involved in the liberalization of telecommunications markets in Germany and Europe from the very beginning — as consultants to German and foreign telecommunications companies, national governments and the European Commission.

Our experience includes national, European and international telecommunications law, as well as the areas of media, teleservices, Internet and data protection law.

Members of the Telecommunications Law Group, who form project teams with lawyers from other practice groups when required, advise and represent network operators, service providers, equipment manufacturers, large customers and public entities, both on a project basis and as permanent clients.

We have broad experience in all questions of regulation, including licensing procedures, interconnection, tariff regulation, drafting and advising on telecommunications contracts, acting on corporate acquisitions and public offerings in the telecommunications sector and representing our clients before the regulatory authorities and the courts.
