The Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati national security team represents buyers and sellers of telecommunications and critical infrastructure businesses in proceedings before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to address the transfer of FCC licenses, and in reviews by the group of agencies known as “Team Telecom.”
When Team Telecom—the Department of Justice, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation—intervenes in FCC proceedings to review the national security implications of foreign investment into telecommunications-related sectors of the U.S. economy, Wilson Sonsini helps clients to navigate the interlocking FCC and Team Telecom processes. The firm advises clients on responding to national security triage questions and on the negotiation, operation, and termination of network security agreements with Team Telecom. We also assist our clients in handling the interplay between the FCC/Team Telecom review process and other national security reviews, such as the CFIUS process.
