Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • The lawyers at Cooley are subject matter experts, of course, but they also have a deep knowledge of the preferences of the FCC staff. So, when we are advised of a course of action, we can be confident that it will comport with the approach of the staff and result in a prompt and successful process, to the maximum extent possible.
  • Jason Rademacher is the lead for us. He is a broadcast expert but also the person at Cooley we will call no matter the subject area. Jason will and has referred us to other firms if Cooley would not be our best match for the project. He is exceedingly practical and will look for the most cost-effective solution for us. We value Jason's honesty, integrity, judgment, and his unpretentious approach to our relationship. He's never trying to impress us with his knowledge (which is vast) and always makes us comfortable asking any questions along the way. He knows not just our industry but our company and our company's leadership.
