Wiley Rein LLP has announced the addition of Stacey Sutton and Amanda Jesteadt as partners within its Telecom, Media, and Technology practice. This move aims to bolster the firm’s capability to protect its clients in sectors such as telecommunications and technology from emerging threats like fraud, including imposter schemes and SIM swap fraud.

Their expertise extends to combating handset trafficking, a fraudulent activity that poses significant risks to telecommunications companies by targeting customers through illicit acquisition and resale of devices.
Sutton and Jesteadt’s arrival at Wiley reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its comprehensive legal strategies to address complex technological and regulatory challenges faced by clients. The incorporation of these seasoned professionals is poised to strengthen Wiley’s offerings in mitigating reputational and operational risks in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
