WASHINGTON, DC — Experienced telecommunications attorney David Carter has joined Womble Bond Dickinson as a partner in the firm’s Washington, DC office. Associates Ernesto Mendieta and John Nelson will also be joining the firm and working closely with Carter.
Carter represents telecom carriers in business disputes, often with established competitors, involving new business models and service offerings. He represents carriers in both state and federal courts, as well as before the Federal Communications Commission and state regulatory agencies. His clients include international as well as domestic telecom companies.
Carter also guides companies in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliance as well as defending against allegations of TCPA violations.
“Our firm has long had a strong telecom practice centered here in the DC office, and David’s focused litigation background is a great fit for clients in that sector. We welcome David, Ernesto, and John to our team,” said Womble Bond Dickinson DC Office Managing Partner Elizabeth Lee.
Chris Jones, the firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group leader, said, “David brings more than a decade of experience in telecom and TCPA disputes, which will benefit the Firm’s clients. He and his team broaden our platform and strengthen our already strong Washington, DC based litigation team.”
In addition to his work on behalf of clients, Carter previously chaired the board of social innovation at George Mason University and taught in a Master's program at Pepperdine University.
Having spent five years at a boutique telecom law firm in Mexico City, Mendieta has a particular background in advising telecommunications clients on cross-border disputes and transactions in the US and Mexico.
Nelson’s litigation experience includes large-scale litigation case database management.
Carter, Mendieta, and Nelson previously practiced together at Innovista Law PLLC.
