Why Choose Us?
Our Lawyers
Our lawyers have a depth and breadth of focused experience that you are
unlikely to find at large national and multinational litigation and business
law firms. We specialize in communications, technology, and the Internet,
and our clients benefit from our expertise. We take pride in our skills,
our collegiality, and our success as advocates for our clients, working to
achieve their business and policy objectives.
Our Experience
We are expert in virtually every area of communications law, and our clients
ask us to represent them in a wide range of matters before the Federal
Communications Commission and other Executive Branch agencies, federal
district and appellate courts, Congress, and state regulatory bodies. Our
clients include communications and Internet service providers (local,
national, and international; wired and wireless; licensed and unlicensed;
terrestrial and satellite; facilities-based and resale; common and private
carriers; and broadcast and media), content providers, ancillary service
providers, and equipment manufacturers.
In addition to regulatory matters, we handle transactional work for clients.
We have experience drafting and reviewing contracts related to all facets of
the communications industry, including various forms of intercarrier
arrangements, franchise agreements, equity and debt financing documents,
equipment leases and purchases, software and video programming license
agreements, network affiliation agreements, and peering and service
agreements, and we have substantial experience in assessing regulatory and
legal issues related to venture and other financings and initial public
offerings for technology companies.
Our Approach
The ongoing convergence of current technologies and the rapid emergence of
new technologies have created a turbulent federal, state, and local
regulatory environment as laws and regulations attempt to keep pace with
technological change. We know the impact regulatory uncertainty has on
clients' business plans and the deployment of capital and technologies, and
we are committed to working efficiently and effectively toward a regulatory
climate conducive to expanded business opportunities and the advancement of
new technologies.
