The Law Office of Laurel G. Yancey, P.C. has experience advising business clients on new media law, and its application in establishing a web-based business.
Clarity for end users
Telecommunications services span diverse offerings, from digital media to data information, much of which contains enriched content. Service contracts, and Terms and Conditions of Use Agreements are lengthy documents, laden with industry terminology, corporate policies, fees, and, increasingly, only available on-line, with click-through acceptance. Businesses, end users, consumers, and municipal authorities require, at crucial times, the counsel of telecommunications attorneys to interpret, review and/or negotiate contractual agreements. Competent legal counsel should ensure that its clients are beneficiaries of favorable terms, and receive both the type and level of services needed by their enterprises and projects. Clients should also know of information on discounted services funded through state or federal agency grant programs for which they may be eligible to apply. Citizens must rely on federal and state agency regulation of public safety and emergency management personnel to ensure access to emergency alert communications, e911 services, and notification of evacuation plans, especially persons with disability. Whether it pertains to transactions, grant programs, and public safety, the Law Office of Laurel G. Yancey, P.C. has the resources to address a variety of telecommunications matters.
