Global law firm Hogan Lovells has announced that Katy Milner has joined the firm as a partner in the global regulatory & intellectual property, media & technology practice group in Washington, DC.

Milner represents telecommunications and technology industry clients on regulatory, transactional, and compliance matters before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Congress, the administration, and other federal agencies.

She advises telecommunications clients on matters related to spectrum acquisition and utilization, wireless services regulation, data privacy and cybersecurity, and enforcement, helping clients navigate the rapidly changing broadband and Internet policy landscape.

Janice Hogan, the global head of the regulatory & IPMT practice group at Hogan Lovells commented, "We are delighted to welcome Milner to the team. Her addition is consistent with our commitment as one of Washington, DC's largest law firms to continue to grow and strengthen our key regulatory practice areas."

Ari Fitzgerald, the head of the firm's communications, Internet, and media practice said, "Telecommunications is a key sector for the firm, and Milner has been widely recognized as a rising star among her peers. Her capabilities will allow us to not only maintain but expand the consistent, high-quality legal services we provide to our wireless and communications clients."

Mark Brennan, the head of the firm's technology & telecommunications industry sector group, added, "We are excited to welcome Wilmer to the firm and anticipate that our clients will benefit tremendously from her years of experience advising tech and telecoms clients on their most important matters."

Wilmer stated, "I am thrilled to be joining Hogan Lovells, a long-time leader in helping clients navigate the intersection between business and government. The firm not only has a standout wireless and satellite practice, but also leads tech, UAS, and space teams. I am excited to leverage my experience and skills and collaborate with this stellar team to deliver top-tier legal services to clients."

Milner has significant experience in advising established and emerging space ventures on complex satellite, earth station, and international telecommunications matters. She also assisted satellite clients with applications, milestone compliance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Her expertise also lies in uncrewed aircraft systems matters, particularly on FCC-related activities. This will serve to expand the firm's leading drone capabilities, including counseling the Commercial Drone Alliance and other UAS clients.

Earlier, Milner worked with Wiley Rein. She earned her JD from the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis and holds a B.A. from Emory University.
