Empowering connectivity, enabling growth.
Husch Blackwell’s Telecommunications law practice delivers comprehensive legal counsel to clients at the forefront of connectivity—spanning traditional telecommunications, broadband, wireless, and emerging digital infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary team partners with public and private entities, carriers, tower companies, broadband providers, and technology innovators across the United States to support every stage of network development, expansion, and operation.
With deep experience in siting and deployment, pole attachments, rights-of-way, and infrastructure transactions, we guide clients through complex regulatory environments at the local, state, and federal levels, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Our Telecommunications attorneys are adept at structuring joint ventures, navigating mergers and acquisitions, securing project financing, and managing tax considerations unique to the telecommunications industry. We routinely negotiate agreements for site acquisition, tower development, and wireless and fiber infrastructure and resolve land use, zoning, and permitting challenges to accelerate deployment.
We help clients anticipate and address evolving issues in data privacy, broadband expansion, regulatory compliance, and public policy, while mitigating risk and maximizing opportunity. Whether advising on business formation, contract negotiations, or advancing interests in litigation, our team delivers practical solutions that keep projects—and businesses—moving forward.
