Telecommunication and Right-of-Way Projects

For almost 25 years, River Oaks has provided expertise to Local Governments and Private Industry with respect to Cable and Telecommunications Projects.  River Oaks has worked in over 34 states and its principals have over 45 years experience in drafting, negotiating, and formulating complex agreements.  Work has been done throughout the United States in Metropolitan Areas, Mid-sized Communities and Rural Areas.

In the course of this work, River Oaks has reviewed or been involved in the preparation of hundreds of Agreements, along with Ordinances.  In this regard, River Oaks has prepared Telecommunications Ordinances which address the provision of multiple services.  Millions of dollars are involved in these transactions with respect to Franchise Fees, other Compensation, PEG Access, and I-Net related matters.  River Oaks works closely with City and County Attorneys, Video Production Staff, IT departments, and Right-of-Way and Public Works Departments as well.

In these challenging economic times, it is important for cities and counties to ensure they are receiving the proper amount of compensation from providers and other users of the Right-of-Ways.  By teaming with other professionals, we can help local governments determine the correct amount of fees to be collected.  This involves working with professionals who have legal, business, technical, and financial experience.
