Carriers, operators, and infrastructure investors operate where the regulation is still being written. Our telecommunications practice keeps up.
BauHaus advises wireline, wireless, satellite, and cable operators on the regulatory, commercial, and transactional issues that define the sector. We work across the FCC, the state PUCs, and the relevant European authorities, with day-to-day fluency in spectrum, interconnection, universal service, and broadband regulation.
What we do
Spectrum transactions, auctions, and licensing. FCC and state PUC regulatory counseling. Tower, fiber, and infrastructure transactions. Interconnection, wholesale, and roaming arrangements. Universal Service Fund and broadband subsidy compliance. CALEA, Section 214, and CFIUS matters. M&A and financings in the sector. Spectrum lease and lease-back structures. Public safety, FirstNet, and emergency communications.
How we use AI
Telecom regulatory monitoring is a daily operational discipline. Our workflow surfaces FCC notices, PUC tariff filings, and EU regulatory developments the day they issue, with plain-English client advisories. Spectrum-transaction documentation, lease comparisons, and regulatory filings are produced from established templates with substantive review by a senior attorney.
Why BauHaus
Telecom clients cannot afford counsel that surfaces a regulatory development a week late. We run monitoring workflows that flag rule changes the day they issue, with a senior attorney ready to discuss implications the same week.
