Television, the Internet, online sales, electronic money – all this is gaining more and more influence on business relationships in recent times. Today there is a global transfer of the social and economic activity into the virtual space, based on telecommunications.
It is worth mentioning that the current legislation of Ukraine in a number of aspects is “lagging behind” on the dynamics of changes in the development of information society in Ukraine and in the world. Therefore, many elements exist outside the legal framework and are not governed by any regulations, which hinder the full development of the telecommunications sector. A significant part of the laws and regulations is still lacking, development and approval of which is required by current legislation. Therefore, legal support has recently acquired great importance at the telecommunications market. First of all, legal support of transactions, regulatory issues handling, and representing clients in court.
