Telecommunications and the media is a fairly traditional area of the law that we have advised clients on for a long time, at the same time, it is also an area undergoing a paradigm shift with the progress of technical innovation, and the new types of business models or services these technologies bring, which make the border between communications and broadcasting unclear. Nishimura & Asahi regularly advises on intellectual property, data protection, business licenses and other regulatory issues, business contracts with third parties and other legal issues and disputes concerning traditional types of telecommunication and broadcasting business (telecommunication services, broadband services, satellite-broadcasting, CATV services), as well as these new forms of business.
