Helping the CEO’s of Telcos Three UK and EE Limited find points of agreement during management of the Mobile Broadband Network Limited’s Shareholders Agreement where the cost-sharing previously agreed for the roll-out of the 3G Network was being renegotiated in light of the RAN sites now being selected for EE’s 4G Network roll-out.

Advising on the Escalation of Disputes timetable in the Shareholders Agreement. Drafting correspondence between the CEOs with OFCOM’s regulatory views being taken into account to resolve disputes and avoid potential litigation has allowed Gabrielle to quickly assess and understand the pathway to repairing business relationships.

The dispute may simply need some legal advice on the current contractual position and advice on how to re-inforce the status quo, or it may need some creative thinking about how to incentivise a re-negotiation or contract change to reflect the unanticipated or difficult to foresee consequences of doing business with a key investor, supplier or customer.

These potential disputes are much easier to handle and resolve with the appropriate level of legal advice and support.

This experience permits Gabrielle to give insightful wise counsel to any potential dispute you may be facing. Contact gabrielle.plews@bindmans our Head of Corporate and Commercial Team to discuss further.
