Program Summary

Session I - Cell and Wireless Tower Law: A regulatory and transactional primer - Brittany Weidner and Bennett Givens

This webinar will explore the latest issues and trends in wireless installations and offer attendees a comprehensive overview of the current legal landscape, including FCC regulations, recent FCC orders, associated litigation, and how such regulations and decisions (1) impact the authority of local governments in regulating these facilities and (2) alter options for property owners with a cell site portfolio.

The constantly evolving regulatory landscape of wireless installations places a strain on local governments with respect to its (1) regulatory review and approval of various wireless facilities and (2) real estate transactions for deployment of wireless facilities on government property. For counsel representing local governments, wireless providers, or property owners with a cell site portfolio, challenges that arise in wireless site leases/licenses include rates, revenue distribution, environmental and zoning issues. Regulatory burdens are also changing with the enactment of FCC shot clocks and collocation fast tracks pursuant to the FCC’s 6409(a) rules and numerous state-level small cell laws.

Listen as our panel of legal advisers discusses best practices for counsel to local governments and property owners to prepare for and deal with issues specific to cell towers and site applications and leases.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Developments driving deployment
  • Law governing the placement of wireless facilities
  • Key issues in managing placement and design of wireless facilities
  • Leasing facilities to wireless providers

Session II – The Ethics and Legality of Using Smartphones and other Mobile Devices in the Legal Profession – Michael Overly

In this session, we will focus on understanding key ethical obligations relating to the use of mobile technology, including smartphones and tablets. The session will also provide attendees with an overview of information security and privacy standards applicable to their practices. Numerous real-world examples will be provided.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Understanding Ethical Obligations
  • Fundamentals of Information Security
  • Sources of Risk
  • Human Factor
  • Incident Response
