Jason Rademacher

Jason Rademacher is a special counsel in Cooley's regulatory communications practice. He was associated with Dow Lohnes, which merged with Cooley in 2014. Jason has been helping broadcast, cable, telecommunications, technology, and new media clients shape law and policy before federal agencies and Congress and defending those clients before the FCC and the federal courts. His practice focuses on advocacy – helping clients help the government set the right policies in areas like media ownership, spectrum policy, and technology regulation – and defense – protecting clients from government overreach and competitor's unfair business practices.

Jason is expert in all areas of practice and procedure before the FCC and has represented clients of all types in enforcement actions, arbitrations, hearings, formal and informal complaint proceedings, and agency rulemakings. He also frequently advises the firm's clients on a full range of transactional and contracting matters, particularly with respect to mergers and retransmission consent arrangements. As the communications sector has become increasingly competitive, his expertise has become increasingly important in helping the firm's clients develop regulatory compliance strategies that do not obstruct business success.
