35

The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or the Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in paragraph (c) below; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Selling Shareholder’s liability pursuant to this Section 9(b) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the ADSs hereunder.

(d)       Noticeand Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters, their affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of the Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company and any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholder shall be designated in writing by the Selling Shareholder. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

37

(e)       *Contribution.*If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the ADSs or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the ADSs and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the ADSs. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Shareholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f)       Limitationon Liability. The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph I above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Selling Shareholder or the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph I above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph I above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs I and (f), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the ADSs exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(g)       Non-ExclusiveRemedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 paragraphs (a) through (f) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

38

10.       Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters, by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholder, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option ADSs, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the ADSs on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

11.       Defaulting Underwriter.

(a)       If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the ADSs that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such ADSs by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such ADSs, then the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such ADSs on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company and the Selling Shareholder may postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to three full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company, counsel for the Selling Shareholder or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 12, purchases ADSs that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b)       If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of ADSs that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of ADSs to be purchased on such date, then the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of ADSs that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of ADSs that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the ADSs of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

39

(c)       If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of ADSs that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of ADSs to be purchased on such date, or if the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase ADSs on the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company and the Selling Shareholder will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 12 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 9 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d)       Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company, the Selling Shareholder or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

Except as provided in this Section, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their counsel (legal or otherwise) and stock transfer taxes on the resale of any of the Shares by it.

(b)       If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10, (ii) the Selling Shareholder for any reason fail to tender the ADSs for delivery to the Underwriters (other than as a result of a termination pursuant to this Section 10, or the default by any Underwriter in its obligations hereunder, in which case such Underwriter shall not be entitled to reimbursement) or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the ADSs for any reason permitted under this Agreement (other than the default by any Underwriter in its obligations hereunder, in which case such Underwriter shall not be entitled to reimbursement), the Selling Shareholder agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you propose to enter into an acceptance of Offer N° 1/2026 (such offer and acceptance, together the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Telecom Argentina S.A.

In consideration of the Underwriters’ agreement to purchase and make the Public Offering of the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, during the period beginning on the date of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) and ending at the close of the Trading Day on the [60^th^/90^th^]^1^ day (the [“60^th^/90^th^ Day”]) after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”) or, if the [60^th^/90^th^] Day is not a Trading Day, immediately after the close of the last Trading Day immediately preceding the [60^th^/90^th^] Day (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any class of common shares of the Company (the “Common Stock”) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (2) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Exhibit 5.1

February 11, 2026

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

General Hornos 690,

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have acted as special Argentine counsel to Telecom Argentina S.A. (the “Company”), a corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under the laws of the Republic of Argentina, in connection with the offer and sale by the Selling Shareholder of 23,290,655 Class B Shares of the Company’s common stock (including in the form of American Depositary Shares). Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-280720) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 8, 2024, under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended or supplemented) by the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below), the “Registration Statement”).

In such capacity, we have examined and/or relied upon such documents as we have considered necessary for the purpose of giving this opinion, including copies of the following documents:

(i)            a copy of the Registration Statement;

(ii)           the base prospectus dated July 8, 2024 contained in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated February 10, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”);

(iii)          the by-laws of the Company, as amended as of the date hereof; and

(iv)          such other documents, stock transfer books and registers, corporate records and certificates of officers of the Bank as we may have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.

In giving this opinion, we have made the following assumptions:

(a)           the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and certified copies;

(b)           the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies;

(c)           the authenticity of the originals of such copies;

(d)           that signatures, stamps and seals on all documents examined by us (whether original documents or copies of such documents) are genuine;

(e)           that all documents relevant for the purpose of giving the opinions set forth herein have been validly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto;

(f)            that no amendment has been or will be made to the documents examined by us and that such documents remain true, complete, accurate and in full force and effect;

(g)           that no agreement, document or obligation to or by which the Company (or its assets) is a party or bound and no injunction or other court order against or affecting the Company would be breach of infringed by the performance of the actions to be carried out under the Registration Statement;

(h)           that all consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations, resolutions, notices, waivers, filings and registrations that are necessary under any applicable law or regulation in order to permit the performance of the actions to be carried out under the Registration Statement have been or will be duly made or obtained and are, or will be, in full force and effect;

(i)            the truth and accuracy of the representations and all matters of fact set forth in all relevant documents furnished to us by the Company, its subsidiaries and their officers and directors (but not any legal conclusion to the extent we express an opinion with respect thereto); and

(j)           that there are no facts or circumstances or matters or documents which may be material to the opinion set out herein which, notwithstanding our reasonable inquiry, have not been disclosed to us.

We express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of Argentina as in effect at the date of this opinion letter and we have assumed that there is nothing in any other law that affects our opinion. In particular, we have made no independent investigation of the laws of the State of New York or of any other jurisdiction, as a basis for the opinions stated herein and do not express or imply any opinion on such laws.

Based upon and subject to the above, we are of the opinion that:

(i)            the Company is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Argentina;

(ii)           the common stock (as defined in the Registration Statement) has been duly authorized and issued and are non-assessable under the laws of Argentina;

This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and does not extend to, and is not to be read as extended by implication to, any other matter.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s report on Form 6-K, dated February 11, 2026 and to the reference to us under the captions “Legal Matters” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Sincerely yours,
