Cooley LLP’s team is based in Washington DC and is well-placed to represent satellite, broadcast and telecoms clients before the FCC. The team is headed up by Robert McDowell who harnesses experience in such FCC work. Travis LeBlanc specializes in crisis management, internal investigations, national security matters and complex litigation, while J.G. Harrington offers advice on the regulations affecting transactions, compliance and bankruptcies, as well as on the development of new products and services. Jason Rademacher routinely represents broadcast, cable, telecoms, tech and new media companies before the FCC and Henry Wendel has a particular focus on transformative transactions and critical advocacy issues. Christy Burrow and Belen Crisp are also standout members of the team. Team changes include the retirement of Michael Basile and the September 2024 arrival of Tony Lin, Ronald Del Sesto and Tamar Finn.
