Telecom & Cloud Communications

CALEA & Public Safety Compliance

Overview

Our team of experienced attorneys guide clients through the complex requirements of Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and other public safety regulations. CALEA mandates that telecommunications carriers must be able to isolate and deliver intercepted communications to law enforcement agencies upon appropriate legal authorization.

With in-depth knowledge of CALEA and its implications for service providers, we ensure our clients fully comply with these critical legal obligations. Our expertise extends to providing counsel on compliance issues arising under ECPA, CALEA, FISA, Cable and Wiretap Acts, as well as assisting in implementing various orders and requests such as Wiretap, FISA, Pen Register, Trap and Trace Orders, and NSLs.

Non-compliance with CALEA and other public safety regulations can lead to significant penalties and other fines for violations like incomplete Form 499 registration or failure to file with the FCC. By staying up to date on the latest regulatory developments, we enable our clients to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing telecommunications landscape while upholding their commitment to public safety and security.
