Our attorneys’ expertise in broadband, communications, and public utility law includes an active practice on behalf of local governments throughout the country on matters relating to compliance with and interpretation of a wide variety of federal and state communications and utilities laws and regulations. Today, a major focus involves working with local and regional governments studying, developing and implementing community broadband plans.
Our experience includes working with state, local, and tribal governments, and non-profit entities on matters such as:
We represent clients in Federal Communications Commission rulemaking proceedings, Board of Public Utilities proceedings and in state and federal court on telecommunications and utility matters. We also work with local governments on technology issues such as social media policies and the impact of new federal regulations related to unmanned aircraft (drones).
In addition, we have worked with clients of all sizes in connection with gas and electric franchise agreements, pole attachments, siting of major utility facilities, electric and gas rate cases, power purchase agreements, renewable energy leasing, and enforcement of franchise provisions. HCK’s attorneys regularly present to local elected officials and staff regarding the scope of local versus state regulatory authority over public utility service providers, and have drafted municipal and county code provisions to implement local authority in order to maximize local control.
Our telecommunications and utility attorneys work with private property owners in connection with leases of real estate and building space for placement of wireless communications, solar, and wind energy facilities, and easements for wireless communications and electric and gas utility facilities.
Ken Fellman regularly speaks on communications and utility issues, and is widely published. He is a past president of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors.
