- Our tax lawyers are available to counsel clients on the particular tax issues associated with telecommunications operations, and other tax issues affecting regulated industries. Our tax lawyers are recognized for their knowledge of the Federal Mobile Sourcing Act on sales tax allocation for mobile services.
