Our approach

At Eversheds we make it our business to understand all aspects of the electronic communications industry – from the commercial and regulatory drivers through to the technology and infrastructure:

• our longstanding involvement with Industry Associations such as ISPA, ICSPA, SAVA and WASPA demonstrates our commitment to the market, and contributes to our in-depth understanding of the sector

• the sources on which the firm can draw as one of the largest law firms in the world means we are accustomed to delivering on the demanding timetables set by clients in this sector

• technical skills are crucial in this sector, and we constantly monitor developments in the market and update our knowledge

• this helps to reinforce the experience that comes with acting for players across the entire industry from long established service providers to new entrants and major users

• our service is accountable and straightforward. Our transactions are project managed to agree a budget, plan and timetable. We are then committed to this plan and budget, only deviating from it if changes are mutually agreed with the client. This approach has helped many of our clients to minimise the risk of exceeding their budget, and to achieve their desired outcomes

• the structure of our sector group draws together advisers from different areas of law – all with an indepth knowledge of the sector. This gives you access to a multi-disciplinary but tight-knit legal team which constantly updates its awareness and understanding of the industry and its issues
