Litigation
Fleischman and Harding's litigation group reflects the firm's origins as telecommunications regulatory specialists. We have significant litigation experience in:
 |
Administrative Law
|
|
Federal preemption of state regulation
|
|
Antitrust
|
|
State versus federal jurisdictional questions involving the telecommunications and other regulated industries.
|
|
We have argued appeals in both state and federal courts on a wide variety of matters involving these industries, and have tried cases in the courts, before the FCC and before arbitrators. These matters have not been limited to regulatory issues, but also have included transactional disputes, property ownership issues, intellectual property issues, consumer protection and false advertising issues, First Amendment questions and securities fraud.
|
|
In addition to cases involving telecommunications regulatory matters, we have counseled and represented clients in:
|
|
Competitive issues under state and federal antitrust laws
|
|
Consumer protection laws
|
|
Federal Trade Commission Act
|
|
Common law of unfair competition
|
|
The Lanham Act
|
|
We also have represented ISP clients in connection with subpoenas under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and other file-sharing copyright litigation subpoenas.
|
|
Our goal is to achieve a favorable, cost-effective outcome at the earliest possible opportunity. In addition to assuming complete first-chair responsibility for trying a case or arguing an appeal, we have worked to support other counsel representing our clients who need the specialized expertise that we can provide.
