Telecommunications

Telecommunications is a rapidly changing area of legal practice. The changes are driven by technological advances, innovative forms of regulation and industry realignment. The most significant change, and the greatest practice area challenge, is the shift from monopoly provision of telecommunications to a fully competitive marketplace.

The firm's telecommunications practice covers administrative proceedings, civil lawsuits and legislative activities related to the federal and state regulation, and now deregulation, of local exchange telecommunications companies. The firm provides its telecommunications clients with a broad range of experience in the areas of rate of return, rate base, operating expenses and rate-making. Its attorneys were instrumental in the two recent rewrites of the Florida telecommunications law and, as a result, have the ability to furnish telecommunications clients with the insight necessary to navigate the changing telecommunications landscape.

The firm has dealt with regulatory and court decisions on a wide variety of issues for the firm's telecommunications clients. The firm's telecommunications attorneys defended multimillion dollar lawsuits by highway contractors claiming construction delays due to untimely telecommunications facility relocation work. The firm's attorneys understand the technical aspects of provisioning telecommunications networks and services.
