Telecommunications are the means of electronic transmission of information over distances. The information may be in the form of voice telephone calls, data, text, images, or video. Today, telecommunications are used to organize more or less remote computer systems into telecommunications networks.
Where we act
Counsel in our resources, energy and infrastructure cluster act for mining houses, energy producers, telecommunications operators, contractors and the regulators that supervise them. Members appear in the High Court, the SCA, sector-specific tribunals and commercial and construction arbitrations.
How we work
Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.
Who briefs us
Our Telecommunication & Energy Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
