Akin has expanded its telecom portfolio by welcoming back Sean Conway as a partner in its telecom, media, and technology practice in Washington. This move comes as part of Akin’s strategy to bolster its capabilities and expertise in telecom policy and regulation amidst increasing federal initiatives in these areas.
Conway returns to Akin from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), where he served as deputy chief counsel. His experience with the NTIA, focusing on critical matters of spectrum management and policy development, is likely to enhance Akin’s services in navigating complex regulatory landscapes for its corporate clients.
With this reunion, Akin aims to harness Conway’s deep insights and experience gained through his governmental role, facilitating more comprehensive counseling for clients engaged in telecom and technology sectors. Conway’s appointment is expected to align with the firm’s ambitions to address emerging challenges and opportunities in the telecom sector, driven by technological advancements and policy shifts.
