The firm deals with contracts and disputes involving IP property rights, regulatory compliance matters, litigation, and legislation, including matters within the purview of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and U.S. International Trade Commission.

All facets of communications and communications entities and service providers to the communications industry are dealt with - including authorizations, modifications and transactional. This includes broadcast, cable television, common and private carriers, microwave, PCS, cellular, paging, SMR, equipment and experimental authorizations, as well as policy and political communications matters before various government agencies.

Of Counsel Areas of Expertise & Referral Sources

These cover complex litigation, bankruptcy (including creditors' rights), construction law, and mechanics' liens issues for those clients in the greater metropolitan Washington, DC area. We also maintain working/referral relationships with other firms, both nationally and internationally.
 
Firm's Approach to Client Matters
  Our expertise and involvement with the client either on a continuous and/or an as-needed basis positions us to better help define the scope of risk/reward for our clients and alternative approaches help maximize the client's potential and achieve the client's goals. This also helps clients budget for and control legal fees and costs, while allowing them to quickly and cost effectively establish and expand their operations. Our practice philosophy and approach as a full business service firm can be characterized as "Let Us Help You Grow Your Business."
