Minter Ellison is a recognised leading adviser to the technology, media, communications and telecommunications (TMT) industries.
TMT is one of six industry groups that form the core of Minter Ellison’s business strategy. The objective of this strategy is to ensure that Minter Ellison remains closely aligned with clients’ strategic drivers and prerogatives, and is able to add significant value by applying a deep understanding of industry trends, developments and innovations.
TMT organisations face a wealth of challenges in maintaining competitive advantage and leveraging new opportunities. Rapid innovation and convergence in this space, together with an ever-changing legal and regulatory environment, means that TMT organisations must constantly re-evaluate, and in some cases entirely re-engineer, their business models and strategies.
Our TMT Group supports clients through this ever-evolving process, providing informed, commercial, strategic and practical advice. By applying our deep understanding of the TMT industry and its key drivers, adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, and leveraging an experienced and knowledgeable cross-border team, we are able to add significant value to our clients’ TMT transactions.
We work with leading organisations across the TMT spectrum, and have played a key role in some of the most significant TMT developments and transactions in the Asia Pacific region. These include:
- advising SingTel Optus since it commenced operation regularly assisting it with its corporate growth activities, satellite initiatives, network rollouts, joint ventures, regulatory strategy, brand protection and strategic litigation;
- advising and assisting blue chip Australian and international companies such as Westpac, BHP Billiton, Cathay Pacific, Allianz and Qantas rationalise their technology procurement and outsourcing arrangements

- being the key advisor to Fairfax in the area of defamation for The Age newspaper
- advising the Motion Picture Association of America and many film distributors
- advising highly influential clients in the global TMT arena, including Google, TiVo and MySpace.
