WE DO
The Firm provides strategic advice on business operations, service offerings and product launches, but is not limited to compliance requirements under the laws governing telecommunications, media and technology.
We first engage with our clients for an in–depth understanding of their business models and proposals. This facilitates a personalised approach to structuring their offerings in a legally compliant manner, building the right processes, identifying multiple stakeholder roles and building checks and balances as necessary. We also regularly conduct in–person and self–driven training with these stakeholders, which helps clients comply with the applicable laws.
Our willingness and capacity to find innovative solutions enables our clients to operate in areas with archaic laws. We regularly refresh our advice to ensure they benefit from legislative liberalisations, inputs from enforcing authorities and industry practices.
