Telecom and media keep merging as networks, platforms, and content collide. You might run a carrier, a streaming service, a tower portfolio, or a communications technology business, and each faces its own regulatory and commercial pressures. Our attorneys come from engineering, so spectrum, network architecture, and distribution technology are familiar ground. We help you stay compliant with the FCC and state regulators while doing the deals that move your business forward.
FCC and State Regulation
Communications businesses live under heavy oversight. We advise on FCC licensing, interconnection arrangements, universal service obligations, and the rules governing how traffic moves across networks. When state utility commissions and federal frameworks both apply, we sort out which controls and how. For carriers operating across borders, we work through the international telecom requirements so your service offerings and filings stay aligned with the law in each market.
Network Infrastructure Deals
Coverage depends on physical buildout, and buildout depends on agreements. We handle tower and site leases, rights of way, small cell deployment, and fiber network arrangements, and we structure the transactions that fund and transfer this infrastructure. Whether you are densifying a network or acquiring an asset portfolio, we draft terms that protect your access, manage your obligations, and keep deployment timelines from getting stuck in negotiation.
Spectrum and Wireless
Wireless service rises or falls on spectrum. We advise on auctions, license transfers, secondary market deals, and interference disputes, and we support 5G deployment from the licensing side. Because we understand how the radio side actually works, we can speak to engineers and regulators in the same conversation and keep your spectrum strategy practical rather than theoretical, whether you are acquiring rights or putting existing holdings to work.
Content Rights and Distribution
Media value depends on who owns and who can use the content. We handle licensing, distribution, and platform agreements, clarify rights as programming moves across linear, streaming, and on-demand channels, and protect the trademarks and copyrights behind your brands and catalog. As distribution models keep shifting, we draft deals flexible enough to follow your content wherever audiences go without giving away leverage you will want back later.
