Technology, media, and telecommunications companies are at the heart of the digital economy—building the infrastructure and devices that connect people, businesses, and countries. Companies across these industries generate more economic profit than any other sector of the global economy, yet they are not shielded from the disruptions that they themselves create.

Legal services in the TMT sector include: providing advice on the licensing of software and hardware and outsourcing arrangements. A lot of work focuses on new media and technology developments, such as the internet, mobile telephony, data protection and privacy laws, e-commerce issues and fraud prevention.

With the rise of the internet giants, such as Google, Facebook, AllAboutCareers and Youtube, TMT is the area of law that is arguably undergoing the biggest boom. The phenomenal growth of the internet and cutting-edge next-generation technologies means that work is constantly piling in. As the world continues to move onto the internet in ever greater waves, this sector will only continue to expand.

With the development of the mobile phone and broadband internet, governments, institutions and companies are now investing in technology more than ever.
