Technology, media, and telecommunications law (TMT) deals
with the contractual and legal/regulatory implications of new and emerging
technologies, and their application across multiple platforms, including print,
television and video, the internet and mobile devices. The phenomenal growth of
the internet and cutting-edge next-generation technologies means that the TMT
sector is continually growing and developing. As the world continues to move
onto the internet in ever greater waves, this sector will only continue to
expand.

Notably, our Associate Partner, Michael Dugeri, is the proud author of Nigeria’s first authoritative, and most comprehensive book “Entertainment Law in Nigeria”, which is widely regarded as a masterpiece in scholarship, and an important resource for entertainers, entertainment companies, and practitioners in music, film, sports, and broadcast.
