O&A has extensive experience in the Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) sector.
Our partners and associates have well-known skills in the TMT industry, in both public and private segments. The multidisciplinary groups that we have composed allow us to find effective solutions to the challenges that our clients face in these fast-growing and highly regulated industries.

Likewise, we provide legal, economic and technical support for regulatory compliance.

We also help in the design and execution of TMT´s public policies.
The experience of our partners acquired through international practice and their intervention in some of the most relevant contentious processes in the Mexican market is available to our clients to ensure the best attention to matters in which their interests are involved.
