Practices

We offer expert counsel to virtually anyone with interests in the tech, media and telecom industries.

Wilkinson Barker Knauer long has had one of the largest communications law practices in the country. We also have expanded into other areas that allow us to leverage our attorneys’ skills and expertise across practice areas. For example, our energy regulation and smart grid practices complement our telecom expertise, and the issues we handle in our growing privacy, data protection and cybersecurity practice are of interest to any company, including telecom companies, that collects and/or shares information concerning their customers.

Telecommunications and Media
Staying on the leading edge of legal and regulatory developments in telecom and media is important as these industries change so quickly.
Transactions
Our Transactions Practice combines two key ingredients: expertise in the transaction at hand with deep industry knowledge and regulatory insight.
Energy
Energy industry challenges need to be addressed holistically. WBK counsels clients at all levels of government and in complex transactions.
Security, Privacy, and Digital Policy
Building on diverse public and private sector experience, WBK offers forward-thinking advice in the legal, regulatory, and policy spheres.
Transportation and Emerging Technologies
Innovation moves quickly, and often does not fit neatly within a regulatory or legal framework. WBK counsels clients as they develop cutting edge technologies.
Intellectual Property
Ideas can be as valuable as physical assets – and using someone else’s ideas can be very costly. WBK helps clients with their intellectual property issues.
Enforcement and Investigations
When an enforcement investigation happens, companies of all sizes turn to WBK to help them avoid or minimize their liability or exposure.
