About

S. Friedman, Abramson & Co.’s Media and Telecommunications group consists of a multidisciplinary team of attorneys with extensive expertise in all aspects of media and telecommunications law. We assist our international telecom and media clients in navigating through complex regulation, commercial matters, broadcasting rights, licensing and information technology law, and also represent them in a wide variety of legal disputes, and have appeared before the Israeli Supreme Court on behalf of media and telecom clients more than one hundred times.

Our department is also particularly strong in transactional, regulatory and government-relations work, and advises clients on the full range of regulatory and licensing matters (with a sub-specialty in cross-ownership issues), public authorities, telecommunications networks, service providers and data protection/privacy, and contract negotiation.

In addition to regulatory and advisory work, we are experienced in joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, as well as the financing and restructuring of telecommunications, cable, and broadcasting entities.

Our Israeli and international clients include major industry players, as well as start-up/niche enterprises, private equity funds, and government and public sector entities. For several decades we represented Israel’s Second Television and Radio Broadcast Authority and its Ratings Committee. In addition, we have provided legal services regarding transactional and regulatory work (primarily with the Ministry of Communications) relating to fixed-line, fiber-optic cable, submarine cable, satellite, and internet telecommunication systems for companies such as: Google, Cellcom, Bezeq International, Partner Communications Ltd., IDB Development Corporation Ltd. and The Most Group.
