TMT
Benefitting from the international insight and resources provided by the global office network of its parent firm, Baker McKenzie provides advisory services and regulatory assistance to prominent global and local technology and telecom companies. Active areas for the practice include telecoms licensing and regulatory matters, as well as issues concerning digitalisation, e-commerce, data privacy, cloud computing and user-generated content. Particularly well-known for its experience in media rights collections, publishing contracts and advertising compliance matters, the team has also established itself as a key port of call for clients seeking advice on the data protection, liability, and cybersecurity aspects of artificial intelligence, machine learning and connected devices. Guillermo Cervio, who boasts over three decades' experience in the TMT sector, is an authority on telecoms and technology law. He co-leads the practice alongside senior corporate and M&A practitioner Roberto Grané, a go-to name for TMT transactional work, and Martin Roth, who focuses on TMT, digital sales and privacy matters. Valentina Biondi leads at the associate level and handles issues in the areas of social networks, data protection, content regulation, e-commerce, over-the-top media services and net neutrality. Former associate Valentina Salas is no longer at the firm.
