“Our Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice is a top-tier practice with some of the industry's key players. So associates at all levels will get exposure to the highest level of work and access to some of the best people around. And because the practice itself is entrepreneurial and still relatively young, we are able to grow and evolve. All this makes for a very exciting time. We are one of the most unique practices in the market. We cover all three areas of technology, media and telecommunications, offering the broadest range of work. With these areas increasingly converging and developing, lawyers at all levels get a rare mix of work. It means that you're not specialising in a tight niche. It makes your skills much more ‘future proof’ and your career much more interesting. And with all our lawyers getting involved in the marketing and strategy of the practice, it means that you get to see the bigger picture of where the practice is heading.

“We are a very healthy practice. The great majority of our work is stand-alone but we also provide expertise to other areas of the business. It is transactional and advisory. It is invariably global, which means we are working across multiple jurisdictions. You also find that you're not just working with one partner, but all of us. Which (hopefully) again adds to your experience and development.

“We're involved in high-profile work for big-name clients. In Media, we are advising one of the key players on the switchover of UK television to digital by 2012. Within Telecoms, we recently advised on the sale of a pan-African mobile company to a Middle East company, which involved speaking to all the regulators across Africa to ensure the company was in the best possible shape to be sold. Within IT and Outsourcing, we've advised Orange on their arrangements with a call centre in India. Data Protection and Information Management is also an active area – new regulations affecting information and IT are coming into force all the time, all over the world, which demands that we are at the forefront of all the changes.

“Finally, I can't emphasise enough that there's a strong team ethic here. We work well together and we are friendly, sociable, down-to-earth and non-hierarchical. So throughout the recruitment process we make sure you meet a large number of the team members, to ensure there's a good fit professionally and culturally.”
