Telecommunication and Mobile: Telecommunication Infrastructure
The need to provide broadband coverage and connectivity for the ever-increasing demand from consumers and businesses creates opportunities and unique challenges for the infrastructure responsible for delivering this technology. Our Telecommunication Infrastructure practice works with telecom infrastructure development companies and those with infrastructure operations and interests on a broad range of complex issues, transactions, and agreements to address the evolving legal landscape.
We work with clients who develop, own, and maintain the full array of equipment including towers, rooftop sites, antennae sites, distributed antenna systems, and other installations; as well as data processing and storage centers.
We provide the most comprehensive array of legal services to the telecom infrastructure industry, including construction, finance, intellectual property, regulatory compliance, public policy advocacy, and more. Our core services are centered around our clients’ real estate matters—from acquisition and disposition, to leases, land use, and dispute resolution.
