Telecommunications
Telecommunications
The telecommunications industry is a key sector in Spain, representing a significant part of its GDP and foreign investment. Furthermore, the Spanish telecommunications industry plays a leading role in various international markets.
Telecommunications companies have traditionally been essential infrastructure providers for virtually all sectors of the economy. However, the lines between telecommunications, media, and technology services are becoming increasingly blurred. As a result, the regulations of one industry often impact other sectors, as seen with the so-called over-the-top services and digital service platforms.
At act legal Spain, drawing upon our extensive traditional experience with regulated sectors and immersion in new technologies, we can meet all the needs of telecommunications projects and their links to technology and the media.

Areas of practice
Public
The telecommunications sector is one of the most regulated and complex industries in the world. With act legal Spain, you’ll have a team of experts to advise you on all regulatory and administrative aspects of the industry, including the obtaining of permits, compliance with sector regulations, and participation in tenders.
Commercial and corporate
We have a team specialised in preparing a wide variety of contracts related to telecommunications infrastructure and services. Furthermore, in a sector characterised by frequent collaborations between businesses and technical partners, we’ll help you to minimise risks in your projects and partnerships.
Intellectual property
Like technology, media services such as broadcasting or OTTs are often confused with telecommunications services. In these markets, adequate protection of intangible assets, whether patents, trademarks, or software, is essential.
Litigation
Although risk prevention is always our goal, sometimes our clients must face lawsuits or proceedings to enforce their rights or resolve certain issues. Our specialised team will support you in any lawsuit, mediation, or arbitration procedure, whether it relates to commercial matters or sector regulations.
Fiscal and tax
In the highly competitive and complex telecommunications market, you need an efficient and secure tax structure that allows you to focus your efforts and resources on priority issues.
Privacy and data protection
Personal data is usually processed during the provision of telecommunications services. Proper management of this data is essential, be it through our DPO services, the creation and implementation of a strong data protection policy, or the prevention of cyber risks.
Labour and social security
Since telecommunications services are highly complex, there is a constant need to prevent risks and comply with occupational safety regulations. In addition, specialised services are frequently outsourced. At act legal Spain, our labour team is prepared to advise you on hiring employees and third parties safely, minimising risks to your business and your personnel.
Technology and digital media
The distinction between telecommunications services and ICTs is becoming increasingly subtle. We have a team of experts who know how to apply the different rules of these two sectors.
