Telecommunications

Wired for service. Wirelessly and tirelessly serving telecoms.

New and emerging technologies continue to change the ways we live, learn, shop, socialize, conduct business, and communicate, even as the laws and regulations governing those technologies struggle to keep pace. The Spencer Fane Telecommunications team works to meet the legal needs of emerging and established telecom companies embedded in this fast-evolving industry and their customers who are seeking to purchase services.
