Our telecommunications attorneys understand that development time to market is critical, so we proactively partner with each client to learn their specific needs, goals, and concerns to best help them achieve their business objectives in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible.

Our telecommunications attorneys routinely assist clients with matters involving network development, including:

  • Environmental review
  • Leasing, purchasing, and master agreements, including with major wireless communications carriers and NYS departments and agencies, municipalities, and public utility companies.

Our attorneys develop strong relationships with local public officials, frequently present before municipal boards, and strive to achieve our client’s development schedules in accordance with their unique needs.
