Telecommunications

In the dynamically developing telecommunications industry in Poland, understanding and applying telecommunications law is crucial for all entities operating in this sector. The complexity of regulations, the rapid pace of technological change and the specific nature of infrastructure projects require specialised legal assistance. Telecommunications law covers a broad spectrum of regulatory issues – from legislation on network construction and operation, through licensing and tender regulations, to issues related to data protection and competition.

We provide comprehensive legal support in the field of Polish telecommunications law. Our lawyers advise clients on negotiating and concluding contracts in the telecommunications sector, including in tender procedures and proceedings before the National Appeals Chamber. We assist in negotiating amending agreements, arrangements, and settlements regarding these contracts. Our services include conducting and participating in mediation proceedings before leading arbitration courts in Poland. We manage, formulate and pursue claims on behalf of our clients against contracting entities. Moreover, we have broad experience in valorisation of contracts for telecommunications projects.

Our team has assisted our clients in obtaining rights to use real estate for construction telecommunications infrastructure in compliance with the Real Estate Management Act and the so-called Telecommunications Mega Act.

Our clients receive comprehensive support in selecting the most effective methods for implementing their investments in accordance with construction law, local zoning plans, monument protection regulations and other applicable legal provisions. In addition, we offer legal advice on aviation obstacle marking and conduct assessments of the legal status of existing telecommunications networks, particularly in the context of acquiring or selling companies that own telecommunications infrastructure.

We also assist in obtaining funding under the Digital Poland Operational Program and the European Funds for Digital Development.

Our team participates in regulatory proceedings before the Head of the Electronic Communications Office and provides tailored legal counsel throughout the process.
