The group brings a depth of experience in advising and representing the telecommunications and technology sectors through regulatory and business issues, focusing on spectrum and emerging technology matters.
US co-chair of DLA Piper’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice Frank Ryan said, “Mike and his team bring a reputation as among the top telecommunications lawyers in their field. There are no better practitioners to offer clients counsel on how best to address complex and novel business and regulatory issues associated with the delivery of telecommunications services or new spectrum-based technologies.”
Senkowski started his career with the Federal Communications Commission, serving in several positions over the years, including FCC Chief of Staff and acting deputy chief of the Litigation Division. Victory has worked at the U.S. Department of Commerce as assistant secretary for Communications and Information.
Managing partner of DLA Piper’s Washington D.C. location Mary Gately said, “The addition of this group presents a strategic opportunity to expand our telecom practice and regulatory offerings in the nation’s capital. Their specialized skills, coupled with their telecommunications policy and technology backgrounds, will also allow them to expand their practice to serve new industries and emerging fields, including autonomous vehicles, unmanned aircraft, and the Internet of Things. We look forward to them being tremendous resources to our clients.”
The group is coming from Wiley Rein LLP where Senkowski was the chair of their Telecommunications practice, Victory was chair of the Wireless practice group, DeSilva was lead partner of the Wireless practice, Dombrowsky was senior engineering adviser, and Lewis was an engineering consultant.
Global co-chairman and Americas co-chairman of DLA Piper Roger Meltzer said, “This team’s practical cross-border insight into telecommunication laws and regulations will be invaluable to our clients who have pressing global interests. In addition, their experience handling such a diverse array of matters affecting wireless, telecom and new technology companies, from initial licensing and approval strategies to M&A transactions, compliance counseling and enforcement defense, is unparalleled.”
