Gide is physically present in six regions of the world, with 11 offices, enabling it to act on cases globally.
From the very beginning, Gide has been offering its clients its breadth of expertise in TMT-convergent sectors, drawing on its knowledge of network regulations and intellectual property law applicable to content, all the while taking into account the aspects related to technologies and the Internet.
Gide sets itself apart both by its sector specialisation and its international scope. We are the only firm to offer the services of a specialist team entirely dedicated to telecommunications, media and technology law, set up 15 years ago in Paris and now present in many offices throughout the world.
Working closely with the Intellectual Property team, the TMT team acts regularly in France, Central and Eastern Europe, throughout Africa, in the Middle East and in South-East Asia.
Our skills are recognised in all fields of law applicable to copyright, the press, radio and television broadcasters, and the Internet. We are therefore in a position to act for all our clients on all topics relating to the management and development of content.
Our expertise in telecommunications, information technology and new technologies means we can offer an overall legal assistance that combines understanding and a perfect command of all legal issues arising in these converging fields.
Gide’s team has been repeatedly ranked among the best in the Media, Information Technology, Internet and Telecommunications sectors by the various directories, such as Legal 500 and Chambers.
With 'exceptional technical know-how in the tech and digital sector', Gide Loyrette Nouel A.A.R.P.I.'s 11-lawyer team is retained on significant digital transformation mandates, often working on innovative issues including open source, cryptography, retargeting, blockchain and artificial intelligence. The department is also experienced in contentious work before regulators, notably representing AFP in a procedure against Google before the French Competition Authority regarding the French transposition of EU Directive on copyright in the digital single market. Practice-head Thierry Dor is sought after by French and global clients to advise on the structuring of tech projects and on issues related to outsourcing. Counsel Julien Guinot-Deléry is highly regarded for his expertise in IT projects and related litigation.
