Taking on Goliath

At Robins Kaplan, we’re no strangers to taking on the big guys. Throughout our 80+ year history, we’ve represented individuals and small- and mid-size companies in cases against some of the largest corporations in the world. From Big Tobacco to Apple to Disney, we’ve built a reputation for claiming victories against even the largest opponents.

This pedigree is reflected in our telecommunications practice. We exclusively represent small- and mid-size telecommunications practitioners, often in cases against the world’s largest telecom corporations, including Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, T-Mobile, and Sprint. This David vs. Goliath dynamic is a challenge we readily embrace – and know how to overcome.

Outside General Counsel Services

Telecommunications is a fast-changing industry, subject to myriad regulations. And yet, for many companies, hiring a full-time, in-house general counsel to stay abreast of these issues simply isn’t an efficient use of resources.

Our telecommunications lawyers are adept at providing on-demand outside general counsel legal services for our clients. As outside general counsel, we work closely with our clients to forge a deep familiarity not only with existing legal covenants and liabilities, but also with our client’s goals, values, and personnel.

This allows us to provide personalized legal advice across a wide range of issues, including regulatory opinions, contract disputes, and contract negotiation and drafting.
