Technology, Media & Telecommunications
Technology, Media & Telecommunications companies continue to converge and blend with Internet, Digital Media and E-Commerce entities and become increasingly dominant globally. Akol wants to be at the forefront of these changes and therefore has a dynamic and innovative team (including senior level ex-in-house experience) which seeks to understand the changing business models of our clients and assist them with navigating the evolving Turkish legislative landscape.
An understanding of network infrastructure, architecture, and service arrangements, alongside interest in major existing and emerging technologies is complementary to our knowledge of the legal and regulatory environment in Turkey.
We also have strong media capability with many lawyers who have previous in-house media experience and exposure to some of the largest media transactions in the Turkish market over the last decade.
Our team advises on a broad range of telecommunications, media and technology-related commercial, transactional, regulatory, and infrastructure matters, including those with an international dimension:
Data protection
Distribution arrangements
Equipment supply, sale, lease, installation, and procurement
Government and public telecom operators
Intellectual property issues
Licensing arrangements
Media and telecoms regulatory issues
Network infrastructure projects
Privatization and license tender process
Service providers
TMT disputes and transactions
