He helps for profit and non-profit clients with transactional, regulatory, policy, intellectual property and litigation matters. He serves as outside general counsel to many of his clients within and outside the communications, arts and entertainment industries.Tony began practicing communications law just before the internet became a “thing.” He regulated the telecommunications industry for four years just after the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. From rural broadband deployment to data privacy to net neutrality to 911 and 811, there are few issues Tony has not handled for his internet and communications clients.The only thing Tony has done longer than internet and communications law is perform music. Since his days as a McDonald’s All-American high school saxophone player, and self-taught bass player, Tony has been a member of bands that have recorded and released two albums, performed in the U.S. and U.K., and still performs locally with his band The Long Goodbyes. Having “paid his dues” and “learned the hard way” in the arts and entertainment industry, Tony incorporates that experience into his arts and entertainment law practice—representing his clients on business and intellectual property matters.
