Why Fieldfisher?

5G: The Fieldfisher communications team has spent the last two years immersed in the UK's 5G rollout.  We have unparalleled insider insight into the practical challenges of deploying a 5G network, upgrading the infrastructure and detailed knowledge of network sharing and site access arrangements.  Where site access is an issue, we work closely with our specialised telecommunications property team and telecommunications regulatory experts to ensure that every angle is covered.

Fibre: The fibre infrastructure market is becoming more diverse and more competitive.  Fibre infrastructure companies are poised to take advantage of significant UK Government infrastructure spending in order to fund FTTP deployments

Subsea cables: We regularly advise on subsea cable projects in both the European and Asia Pacific markets.  Fieldfisher can assist with the entire project, end-to-end, from supply agreements for fibre optic cable, marine supply and maintenance contracts, regulatory advice for the construction and operation of subsea systems, landing party agreements, dark fibre and lit capacity sales and leases, corporate structuring, financing and disputes.  We've negotiated against all the key industry players, and we know how to take a holistic view of a project in order to back-to-back and minimise exposure for operators.

Space and Satellite: Our satellite and space projects team includes lawyers with over 30 years' experience advising on major satellite and space projects in the UK, Europe and worldwide. Thanks to our rich understanding of the sector, clients benefit from receiving best-in-class support from lawyers they can trust.
