PREMIER COMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY LAW FIRM

LB3 is the premier boutique law firm dedicated to counseling companies on
telecommunications and information technology matters.  We serve as a trusted
advisor to our clients, structuring and negotiating transactions for network
services, outsourcing, managed services, software and hardware acquisitions,
cloud computing, and other complex technology service arrangements.  As
regulatory counselors, LB3 helps enterprise customers resolve high stakes
disputes with their carriers and public and private enterprise users to navigate
successfully the challenges and nuances of the FCC regulatory environment.

PIONEERS IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY LAW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LB3 was one of the first law firms to enter the highly complex area of
information and communications technology law. As technology advances and
diversifies, our firm remains at the forefront of its field-evolving negotiation
strategies and contract structures that help our clients find the right
solutions to their most difficult challenges.  We were involved in the earliest
custom enterprise telecommunications contracts and multi-tower IT outsourcings
and have represented many of the most demanding enterprise customers in support
of their IT and network infrastructure outsourcing, managed services, and other
complex technology transactions. LB3 was also among the first firms to represent
the large user community in negotiations for commercially offered wireless
technologies and IoT solutions.


IT PAYS TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN YOUR CORNER

LB3’s lawyers are uniquely qualified to handle our clients’ most complex
transactions and regulatory challenges.  With experience spanning the wide
spectrum of information and communication technologies, managed services,
outsourcing and cloud computing, we are well equipped to assist our clients in
successfully negotiating and closing sophisticated transactions, including new
technologies and service arrangements of first impression.

Additionally, our work before the FCC has given us a strong understanding of the
changing regulatory environment-including telecommunications taxes and fees-and
the best ways to protect and advance the interests of enterprise customers and
technology companies before the agency.


THE BUYER'S POINT OF VIEW IS OUR ONLY POINT OF VIEW

LB3 is dedicated to advising purchasers of information and communications
technology services.  Because we work exclusively on the buyer’s side of IT and
telecommunications transactions, we represent our clients free from any divided
loyalties or conflicts of interests. Our pure end-user representation ensures
that we always approach the market in general, and our clients’ negotiations in
particular, from the perspective of the end user, not the provider.


WE GET THAT NO ONE LIKES TO GET SOAKED

At LB3, we staff our projects efficiently with experienced lawyers who provide
our clients cost-effective solutions to their complex problems.  We also take a
flexible approach to legal fees, offering both traditional and innovative fee
structures designed to meet the individual needs and demands of our clients.


YOU NEED A GUIDE WHO KNOWS THE WAY

With decades of experience representing some of the most sophisticated
purchasers of corporate telecommunications and IT service, we not only know the
law, we understand our clients’ business and technology needs.  As a result, we
are able to help advance our clients’ business objectives, protect their legal
interests and preserve the value of their negotiated deals.


OUR VALUE DOESN'T END AT THE CONTRACT'S EDGE

TC2 is a global IT and networking consultancy dedicated to helping our clients
develop and execute technology transformation and sourcing strategies.  For our
large enterprise clients, we maximize savings, performance and future capability
in telecommunications services and network infrastructure through a full range
of strategic sourcing, benchmarking, optimization, audit, and technology
consulting.
