The firm’s ability to guide clients through sophisticated broadband initiatives and regulatory challenges also earned high marks: “Phillips Lytle has the people with the experience, expertise, and networks to help guide us and write legal documents on our behalf. The team we work with focused on broadband and it is useful to have people knowledgeable about our specific case issues on our team.”
Another client highlighted the team’s experience in municipal broadband development and public-private partnerships: “I needed a firm that had experience in building a municipal utility to provide broadband services to its residents utilizing State and Federal grant funds.
