Telecommunications Contracting
Dow Lohnes provides a variety of services related to telecommunications transactions and contracting, from initial consideration of a transaction, contract or investment through consummation and post-consummation activities. Depending on client requirements, Dow Lohnes telecommunications lawyers will provide these services on a standalone basis, or in conjunction with corporate counsel from Dow Lohnes's Corporate Group or other firms.
Dow Lohnes provides assistance in all stages of a transaction, beginning with initial due diligence and determinations regarding regulatory compliance and potential economic effects of likely changes in the regulatory environment. The firm's telecommunications lawyers are expert in spotting, evaluating and addressing business and regulatory issues in transaction agreements. Our broad transactional experience also allows us to identify potential regulatory hurdles and ways that clients can avoid or overcome them.
The firm also has the expertise to shepherd transactions through the regulatory process at both the federal and state level. We regularly prepare and prosecute transfer applications and can assist clients in minimizing regulatory risks and delays. We also are experienced in working closely with local counsel on the state level, where appropriate.
Dow Lohnes's securities and financing practice encompasses all types of financial transactions, including private placements, loans and public offerings, as well as post-offering securities filings. The firm has worked with issuers, underwriters, lenders and borrowers to, among other things, prepare documentation, address issues raised by the SEC and conduct due diligence. In this area of practice, Dow Lohnes telecommunications lawyers often act as special counsel on communications regulatory matters.
Finally, Dow Lohnes regularly provides counsel to clients who are engaged in telecommunications contract negotiations. The firm assists clients in acquiring long distance service, local telephone service, equipment and advanced services from a wide variety of vendors. Our representations in this area have included advising clients on contract negotiation, preparation of RFPs and contract compliance issues. In addition to evaluating contractual language and regulatory issues affecting proposed agreements, we also provide advice on industry and regulatory trends that could determine whether specific proposals will be advantageous or disadvantageous to our clients
