Mark Brennan practices primarily in the area of telecommunications law, with a focus on wireless communications and broadband services. He represents clients before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and state commissions in a wide array of spectrum policy, licensing, compliance, and transactional matters. His practice encompasses a range of wireless services, including cellular, PCS, AWS, 700 MHz, BRS/EBS, WCS, 220 MHz, telematics, medical telemetry, public safety, private land mobile, and unlicensed communications. He represents carriers (including facilities-based carriers and resellers), infrastructure providers, equipment manufacturers, applications developers, and broadband service providers. He has experience in a broad range of communications issues, including FCC auctions, broadband deployment, harmful interference, spectrum leasing, E911, and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).

Mark also advises clients on numerous consumer protection matters related to privacy and data security law, including Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the FCC’s Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) rules, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), state data breach statutes, and other relevant law. He also regularly counsels clients on issues related to mobile marketing, location-based services, and online behavioral advertising.

In addition to his regulatory practice, he advises clients on a variety of commercial agreements, including asset purchases and leases, content licensing, and network access arrangements.

Prior to joining Hogan & Hartson, Mark was an associate at another Washington, D.C. firm, where his practice included telecommunications, civil litigation, and environmental law matters. He has also interned at the FCC in the office of former Chairman Michael Powell.
