Former NBC Universal Inc., lawyer Bill LeBeau has jumped to Holland & Knight's public policy and regulation group, the law firm announced today.
LeBeau, 39, was in-house regulatory counsel for NBC Universal and Telemundo, and was registered to lobby during his time there. His title at Holland & Knight is senior counsel, and his practice will concentrate on telecommunications issues.
LeBeau said he's planning to build a regulatory practice at Holland & Knight, though he didn't rule out registering to lobby. "Having been in-house counsel for several years, I certainly know the kind of things I used to be looking for, and hopefully that will be attractive to other clients," he said.
In the statement, the firm said LeBeau had led NBC's advocacy efforts with the Federal Communications Commission on several issues, including the company's 2004 merger with Universal Studios.
