Core to the TMT offering at Skrine is the negotiation and drafting of industry-specific contracts and licensing agreements, with the team offering expertise across a wide range of industries including healthcare, banking and media and entertainment. 5G mandates, the establishment of data centres for cloud computing services and the leasing of sub-sea and terrestrial fibres are additional areas of strength for the cohort. Practice head Charmayne Ong’s practice straddles IP and TMT; Ong frequently advises on complex regulatory compliance and licensing matters. Jilian Chia leverages her expertise in data protection and privacy issues to advise both local and multinational companies. Natalie Lim Yen Kuan is noted for her capabilities in mandates concerning satellite communications and traditional broadcasting, while Cheam Tat Sean further boosts the team’s TMT expertise.
