Winston
Maxwell
Partner, Paris
winston.maxwell@hoganlovells.com
Winston Maxwell is one of the leading media, communications and data protection lawyers in France. His practice covers three principal areas :
Telecommunications and Internet : Winston advises public and private sector clients in the telecommunications and internet industry on corporate, commercial, regulatory and litigation matters. Winston recently co-authored a report for the European Commission on the adoption bill & keep charging mechanisms for the exchange of IP traffic, and a report for the French regulatory authority ARCEP on the regulatory treatment of over-the-top services, cloud computing services and content delivery networks (CDNs). Winston advises mobile and fixed operators, Internet service and applications providers, directory providers, paging operators, and regulators.
Media and entertainment : French and international motion picture producers, distributors and channel providers seek Winston’s advice on commercial contracts, M&A, production and co-production agreements, agreements with talent, IFTA arbitrations, and regulatory questions linked to channel licenses, new technologies, connected TV and VOD.
Data protection and privacy : Winston has testified before several parliamentary committees in France on reform of data protection legislation, and represented clients in lobbying efforts before the European Commission in connection with reform of EU data protection rules. He advises clients on cross-border discovery, implementation of compliance and whistleblowing programs across multiple jurisdictions, handling data breaches, fraud and employee theft of data. He has advised on « privacy by design » in the context of smart grid projects, and on European data protection compliance for innovative Internet applications and services (geolocation, content recognition technologies, and tools used by Internet advertising networks).
Chambers Europe 2012 ranked Winston in Band 1 for both telecommunications and media :
The “excellent” Winston Maxwell is described by sources as “a great lawyer for licensing questions, particularly internationally,” and “a very impressive lawyer on regulatory issues.” He excels in both media and telecoms, and is regularly invited by government bodies to sit on expert panels in these fields (source Chambers Europe 2012)
