Our nationally recognized Internet, Communications & Data Protection Group offers the full complement of counseling, regulatory and litigation services for clients that store and transmit information, including data, voice, sounds and images.  We work with clients who run and manage Internet-based businesses, ISPs, Internet Portals, social networking sites, interactive video games and traditional communications networks to minimize their business risks.

On the Internet side, we help clients by providing practical business-friendly advice on issues such as: transmitting and storing user-generated content, DMCA implementation and compliance, conducting email marketing consistent with CAN-SPAM, complying with laws pertaining to gambling, and adult-content.  We also help service providers on government compliance issues that arise under ECPA, CALEA, FISA, Cable and Wiretap Acts and in implementing Wiretap, FISA, Pen Register and Trap & Trace Orders and NSLs.

We also counsel communications providers on wireline, wireless and VoIP regulations.  We provide strategic advice on consumer protection regulations for marketing and billing services, such as TCPA and truth-in-billing requirements, as well as regulatory fee requirements, including USF compliance, auditing and enforcement.  We advise clients on CALEA and CPNI privacy regulations and assist clients in subpoena compliance.  We also negotiate agreements and litigate disputes between users, suppliers and providers of communications services, and represent clients in enforcement actions before the FCC, state commissions and attorneys general.   more
