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. With significant experience handling real estate matters involving telecom infrastructure, our team is well-equipped to help clients resolve any kind of real estate litigation.
Our team represents and counsels clients on a robust scope of matters such as:
Bankruptcy and insolvency
Boundary disputes

Data protection
Eminent domain
Ejectment
Environmental due diligence, permitting, and litigation
The year 2025 saw significant regulatory activity in the realm of digital assets. The US Congress and financial regulators took steps to create and implement a clear legal framework to facilitate financial transactions using digital assets, and they will continue to do so in 2026.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or the Commission) has released its latest regulatory flexibility agenda—the public list of rules the agency expects to propose or adopt in the coming year (the SEC 2026 Agenda).
Starting on 30 June 2024, with the application of the first of two introduction phases of the Regulation on Markets in Crypto-assets across all member states of the European Union, the EU has introduced for the first time a harmonized regulatory framework as well as accompanying passporting rights for service providers of the crypto-asset market, affecting both traditional institutions of the financial sector and new players emerging in the crypto-ecosystem.
