Wiggin LLP

Telecoms

Gordon is an internationally recognised expert in telecoms and media with over 20 years’ experience in the space. With a background of working in-house, including executive roles at one of the world’s biggest carriers, Gordon brings a mix of expert legal advice and genuine industry experience, allowing him to give informed advice in a real-world context.

“I’ve provided strategic advice on many of the consolidations in the global telecoms sector in the last decade, either as a participant to the consolidation or as a challenger. My clients include FTSE100 telecoms operators and many other internationally recognised names in the telecoms space, as well as niche providers and industry challengers.

I specialise in complex issues in market access, regulation of next generation telecoms services. I can also help you with the specific data protection, retention and transfer issues telcos must consider, and have expertise in the legal framework in respect of content and broadcasting.

I’m highly experienced in competition law in the telecoms sector, having advised telcos and industry bodies in respect of several significant competition law cases, at both a UK and European level.

I’m increasingly working in the important field of litigation funding, having recently enabled a significant client to obtain funding for a portfolio of competition law actions across a number of European jurisdictions, in one of the first funding deals of its kind.”
