‘Todd Daubert and his team at Dentons have provided unparalleled pro-bono legal services for the last few years. Without Dentons' help, we would not have the legal foundation our community Wi-Fi network depends upon. Their expertise in broadband law and practices, with particular attention to the nuances and challenges facing a small ISP and community Wi-Fi project, has been vital for ensuring we can do our work.'
'They have developed legal documents for our terms of service, website policy, our volunteer agreements, and our data confidentiality agreements. Furthermore, they've advised our negotiations and agreements with a local ISP and helped us approach a wide range of questions, including how to handle changes in these relationships, including our partner organization's potential acquisition or transformation in the coming years. ’
‘Todd Daubert has been our primary legal advisor throughout this project's development since 2020, and his personal engagement with all legal questions has always seemed incredibly generous, patient, and attention. We are a group of volunteers who are learning how to create a community Wi-Fi project as we go, so we have needed a lot of basic advice and guidance, often about very complicated technical and political issues. We are grateful to Todd for his expertise, his clear communications, and his generous disposition.’
