Best Best & Krieger is proud to sponsor the International Municipal Lawyers Association's 2023 Mid-Year Seminar. BB&K Partners Gail Karish, Gerard Lavery Lederer and Tim Lay will be presenting on the state of small cell litigation and threats and share an overview of the opportunities in the 118th Congress and Biden administration. BB&K Partner Elizabeth Hull will participate in a panel discussion on the history of the Fair Housing Act and related laws including the newly proposed HUD rulemaking regarding local agency obligations.

BB&K will also host two WONK table discussions – one will be led by Partner Gerard Lavery Lederer and Associate Gregory Caffas, and the other will be led by Director of Government Affairs Ana Schwab. Gerard and Gregory will provide insight on the TCPA and FCC rules governing automatic dialing systems and artificial or pre-recorded voice messages, text messages and facsimiles.
