Technology, Media & Telecommunications - Legislation
We are regularly involved in projects to influence the legislative processes in both the United States and Europe. In the US, we have assisted clients in legislative work, advising them on positions before Congress and drafting proposed legislation, for example on the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and amendments to the Copyright Act.
Through our Brussels office, our legislative team is ideally positioned to participate in the development of a new regulatory framework for digital communications, both within the European Commission, the European Parliament, and at the national level. Legislation is the solution either of choice or of last resort in many situations, and we work with clients to identify those situations, develop strategic plans to present the issues to key legislators and policymakers, and follow through on the legislative process.
