Proven Expertise Across Critical FCC Matters

Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience to the full spectrum of FCC regulatory challenges. We have established a distinguished track record representing clients in notice and comment rulemakings-where we craft compelling advocacy that shapes agency policy in our clients’ favor. When disputes arise, our seasoned attorneys provide aggressive, strategic representation in FCC complaint proceedings, protecting our clients’ operational and financial interests with tenacity and precision. We also provide critical guidance on regulatory classification matters, helping clients structure their service offerings to avoid inadvertent common carrier status and the extensive federal obligations that accompany it.

We maintain particular strength in specialized practice areas that demand both technical fluency and regulatory acumen. For systems integrators and managed service providers, we counsel on strategies to avoid common carrier regulation and minimize Universal Service Fund contribution obligations-analyzing service portfolios to identify excludable revenue streams and implementing compliant reporting procedures. We also advise enterprise customers on FCC regulations governing multi-line telephone systems (MLTS), including Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’s Act compliance requirements for direct 911 dialing and dispatchable location information-helping clients implement compliant systems while avoiding enforcement risk. For public hospitals and healthcare systems, we provide comprehensive assistance in securing Rural Healthcare Program grants. For utilities and industrial enterprises, we offer dedicated counsel on Industrial Radio Service regulatory matters.
