Aaron’s wireless industry experience focuses on legal, regulatory and policy initiatives to deploy and improve wireless voice, video, and data services that drive e-commerce and connectivity. With his deep experience in industry, he teams with program managers and engineers, land use specialists, and external relations professionals to help clients develop and implement legal and business strategies from planning for entitlement proceedings to breaking ground on new wireless infrastructure. Aaron counsels clients to efficiently achieve infrastructure objectives, with a particular emphasis on telecommunications laws to work with state and local jurisdictions and to build robust administrative records in permitting proceedings, zoning and rights-of-way disputes, and related litigation in federal courts arising under applicable federal and state laws, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and FCC rulings and regulations.
