A broad range of clients including major telecommunications operators such as Entel and Telefónica del Perú routinely turn to Rodrigo, Elías & Medrano Abogados for its expertise in the TMT space, where it assists with concessions, authorisations, allocation of radio spectrum and permitting issues. On the contentious side, the team regularly represents clients in complex disputes, including administrative matters before OSIPTEL and the Ministry of Transport and Communications. María Del Rosario Quiroga leads the team and consistently represents private investors on regulatory matters in the TMT sector. She is regularly assisted by senior associate Andrea Morelli, whose practice spans the development of telecommunications infrastructure, the negotiation of telecommunications services agreements, and compliance with the applicable regulations. Senior partner and public-sector regulatory expert Verónica Sattler also leans into the sector on an ‘as-required’ basis.
