Fasken

Fasken houses a strong practice which is equipped to handle the gamut of telecoms and broadcasting matters. The group regularly acts for clients before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the Department of Innovation and the Copyright Board. Network deployment requirements, specialized communications contracts and anti-spam legislation are additional areas of expertise. Broadcasters, radio equipment and hardware vendors and satellite service providers routinely feature on the group’s client roster. Leslie Milton steers the department from Ottawa and has significant experience in telecoms and radio communications regulation. Additional key partners at the Ottawa office include licensing and regulatory compliance specialist Scott Prescott, and ex-practice head Gerald Kerr-Wilson. In Toronto, Barbara Miller majors on the investments, acquisitions and financings of telecoms and broadcasting entities, and Paul Burbank provides key support at the associate level.
