Communications Towers And Access Rights

We have handled a variety of rulemaking proceedings, litigation and contract negotiations with regard to communications towers, antennas, pole attachments, conduits and access to rights-of-way and buildings. We are experts in tower siting and leasing issues and have represented telecommunications service providers in obtaining thousands of tower and antenna sites. We also regularly represent tower owners in leasing, financing and mergers and acquisitions. Our expertise in cable television and telecommunications franchise laws and regulations has been brought to bear in a number of high-profile cases involving franchise fees and access to rights-of-way and buildings. We have been responsible for seminal cases that have established basic legal principles that remain in use today. Because of the volume of transactions we handle, we are knowledgeable concerning rates and terms for private commercial transactions, utility pole attachments and location of facilities on state and federal property.
