Technology, Media, and Telecommunications
The Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Between the acceleration of digital transformation, growing concerns around cybersecurity, personal data protection, technological innovation, and the evolution of business models, companies in this field must navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and contractual landscape.
Our lawyers advise leading players in the technology, media and telecommunications industries on all their strategic, legal, and contentious matters.
Data Centers
Data centers now form the backbone of the global digital economy. These critical infrastructures — spanning energy, technology, construction, and real estate — involve highly complex and strategic legal challenges.
Our multidisciplinary team advises investors, operators, developers, and users of data centers at every stage of their projects:
- Structuring and financing complex assets
- Acquisition, disposal, and real estate development
- Construction, hosting, and maintenance agreements
- Regulation, planning, public law, and tax
- Cybersecurity and GDPR compliance
With over 20 years of proven experience in this area, we are among the few independent law firms in Paris able to offer the full range of legal capabilities required to meet the needs of this fast-growing sector.

Driven by new technologies, innovative content consumption models have emerged, fundamentally transforming traditional business frameworks. The media industry is undergoing profound changes, pushing players to consolidate and secure their strategies within an ever-shifting regulatory and commercial environment.

Telecommunications operators stand at the heart of the digital revolution, continuously adapting their economic models, infrastructures, and offerings to evolving technological and regulatory shifts.
