John K. Friedman, Esq.
I am an attorney and law professor specializing in telecommunications and
technology law, and have over 25 years experience in the
telecommunications and technologies industries in legal, operational,
finance and technology roles, with extensive experience in domestic and
international transactional and regulatory issues. This unique combination
of business and legal expertise enables me to provide a depth of
operational, transactional and regulatory advice simply unavailable from
traditional law firms and consultantcies.
My clients are primarily facilities-based international telecommunications
carriers, submarine cable operators, technology-focused investment funds,
and technology companies whose interests I represent in North America,
Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. I provide counsel on corporate and
transactional issues as well as finance, taxation, regulation, litigation and
M&A. To see a list of my recent engagements, click here.
In addition to my practice, I have been a member of the adjunct faculty of the
Hofstra University School of Law since 2001, where I teach
telecommunications law, policy and economics. An expert in the universal
service system, I served for three years as a board member, treasurer and
secretary of the New York State Targeted Accessibility Fund which
administers and funds New York’s universal service programs.
Prior to establishing my practice, I helped found Empire One
Telecommunications and served as its chair, chief executive and general
counsel from 1996 until its sale in March 2000. Prior to founding Empire
One I was associate director of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information
at Columbia University's Graduate School of Business and remain a Senior
Affiliated Researcher with the Institute. I began my career with Century
Communications Corp., an operator of over 50 cable television systems
throughout the US where I started as a laborer and rose to become a
systems analyst prior to attending law school. I am a founding member of,
and serve on, the Telecommunications Law Committee of the Association
of the Bar of the City of New York, and am a member of the Federal
Communications Bar Association; I am a member of the New York State Bar
and admitted to practice in the Federal District Court for the Southern
District of New York. I received my B.A. in political science from the State
University of New York at Albany, and my J.D. from the Cardozo School of
Law at Yeshiva University.
