Telecoms

Our property telecoms experts cover all aspects of the Electronic Communications Code. We provide expert advice and guidance in an area of law which is complex and evolving.

The new Electronic Communications Code came into force in December 2017. It gave new powers to telecoms operators and it changed how the consideration is calculated.

Whether it is a transactional or contentious matter, Mills & Reeve’s telecoms team has the experience and expertise to help - including opposing new agreements or renewals, negotiating the terms of new agreements and wayleaves, advising on points of law and obtaining possession. 

Telecoms sits within our top tier real estate practices rated in both Chambers and Legal 500. Together, our national team can help you with any telecoms matter.

Our team of experts provide national coverage from our seven offices, with a wealth of experience in dealing with transactions and issues arising out of the Code and its predecessor.
