White & Case partners Clara Hainsdorf, Bertrand Liard, Saam Golshani and Guillaume Vitrich have co-authored the France chapter of the Chambers 'TMT 2026' Global Practice Guide.
The France chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving legal landscape for technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) in France. It covers the latest regulatory developments impacting the digital economy, including the implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and the Security and Regulation of the Digital Space (SREN Law). The chapter addresses the regulation of digital platforms, data governance, and the challenges of harmonizing national and EU-level obligations.
Artificial intelligence is examined through the lens of the new AI Act, with attention to risk classification, liability, and data protection. The guide discusses the regulation of the Internet of Things (IoT), audiovisual media services, and telecommunications, highlighting the convergence of sectoral and cross-sectoral rules. It also reviews the challenges of negotiating technology agreements in regulated industries, the evolution of trust services and digital identity (eIDAS 2.0), and the regulatory environment for the gaming industry and social media platforms.
