MSV agreements

Managing access and rights to install and operate telecommunications infrastructure requires detailed and carefully prepared agreements.

Multi-skilled visit (MSV) agreements specifically allow telecoms providers to access a land owner or site providers land or buildings to consider it for a future infrastructure installation where none already exists or additional areas are required in the same location.

At Moore Barlow, our dedicated energy and communications infrastructure legal team specialise in drafting, negotiating and advising upon MSV agreements. We understand the intricate regulatory and operational aspects involved, ensuring the process progresses smoothly within the appropriate legal frameworks. Our expert solicitors offer comprehensive support and advice tailored precisely to your needs, helping you mitigate risks and maximise operational efficiency.

What is an MSV agreement?

An MSV agreement, also known as a multi-skilled visit agreement, is a specialised legal document commonly used by telecommunication operators and infrastructure providers. Its purpose is to grant authorised personnel the necessary rights to access land or buildings with a specialist team to assess the site suitability for a new installation of telecommunications apparatus.

By entering into an MSV agreement you can ensure these agreements define clear rights, obligations, responsibilities, and conditions for all parties involved, ensuring that businesses, landowners and telecom providers share a common understanding and communication is transparent and effective.
