David A Miller of T-Mobile
David Miller’s role as general counsel at T-Mobile has seen him advise the company on one of the most closely-watched M&A deals in recent times in his employer’s proposed USD26 billion merger with telecommunications rival Sprint. Miller’s role on the deal, which would see the combined company become one of the largest mobile carriers in the US, sees him and the broader legal team advising on securing regulatory approval for the transaction, particularly on antitrust grounds.
Miller, who joined T-Mobile in 2001 and also held roles in predecessor companies Western Wireless and VoiceStream, earns praise from legal commentators for his “enormous institutional knowledge of the company.” Sources describe him as a “remarkably effective and durable general counsel” for his staying power amid multiple changes in the company’s executive suite during his tenure, which legal insiders attribute to his record as a “trusted business partner who the company is lucky to have.”
