Effectively Navigating the New Team Telecom Process: Strategies for Jumpstarting the Process, Meeting New Timelines, Eliminating Uncertainty and Avoiding Pitfalls James Barker Partner, Global Co-Chair of the Connectivity Industry Group Latham & Watkins

Joshua Gruenspecht Partner Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

With the official formalization of the new Team Telecom Committee and review processes, and the expanded jurisdiction of the committee, it is clear that there is a new national security regulator in town. As telecom license applications, M+A activity and other telecom deals with foreign entities will now be given more attention, scrutiny and oversight by the government, practitioners in this space will have an increased need to understand the new processes involved and how to efficiently and effectively navigate them. This panel will provide critical strategies for managing reviews in the new Team Telecom environment, eliminating uncertainty and overcoming key challenges.
