Competent on complex telecom regulatory filings

I engaged Carl Northrop and his firm to assist with a complex FCC regulatory filing for a spectrum license transfer. His deep knowledge of communications law, honed over his 22-year career, was immediately apparent. He correctly navigated the dense regulatory framework, and his background in corporate and securities law was beneficial for the transactional aspects. The final filing was thorough and met all legal requirements. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Communication was sometimes slower than expected, with responses taking several days during critical junctures. While his expertise from Georgetown and his recognized standing in the field are undeniable, the client service aspect felt more transactional than collaborative. For straightforward, high-stakes regulatory work where absolute legal precision is the primary goal, Mr. Northrop is a capable choice. Just be prepared to manage timelines and follow up proactively to keep the process moving at the pace you need.
