Communications law is a highly specialized field involving complex regulations at both the state and federal levels. With the emergence of greater competition in the industry, communications law has expanded to include not only licensing and rate regulation, but also disputes regarding interconnection, discrimination, rights-of-way, cross-subsidization, and anti-competitive practices. The attorneys in Fraser Trebilcock's Utility Law Practice Group have extensive experience in successfully handling such matters on behalf of a wide array of clients, including: communication service providers, equipment manufacturers, telecommunications customers and user groups, and wireless carriers.

 

As leaders in the field of communications law, our attorneys are involved in communications-related issues at the local, state and national levels. With experience in practicing before the Michigan Public Service Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, as well as state and federal courts, our communications lawyers have also enhanced their expertise through service in positions such as chairman of the Public Utility Law Committee of the State Bar of Michigan, chairman of the Public Utilities, Electricity and Communications Section of the State Capital Group and involvement with the Communications Committee of the American Bar Association. 

 

In short, the attorneys in our law practice group are experienced, capable and well-positioned to serve the needs of clients seeking counsel in this complex and dynamic field of law.
