Mark Schreiber

Of Counsel

Mark Schreiber helps technology and telecommunications clients in business, litigation, and regulatory matters, drawing on over four decades of legal experience. He regularly handles matters before state and federal courts and regulatory agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, and Nevada Public Utilities Commission.

Much of Mark’s practice focuses on guiding telecommunications providers through regulatory and transactional challenges. His career began during the landmark AT&T divestiture proceedings of the 1980s, and he continues to advise clients on matters involving the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the California Environmental Quality Act, eminent domain disputes, general rate cases, enforcement actions, interconnection disputes, and other administrative and compliance issues. He also counsels clients on intellectual property, internet law, and emerging legal questions involving data privacy and artificial intelligence.

In addition to his regulatory and litigation work, Mark is a trained mediator and arbitrator who has resolved disputes in real estate, contracts, intellectual property, personal injury, and attorney fee matters. He has served on arbitration panels for the State Bar of California, the Bar Association of San Francisco, and the San Mateo County Bar Association, and has acted as a settlement attorney for the San Francisco Superior Court.

Mark has significant law firm leadership experience, serving for 25 years as Chair and Managing Partner of Cooper, White & Cooper LLP, where he oversaw strategic planning, practice development, knowledge management, finance, insurance, and risk management. He later joined Womble Bond Dickinson as Counsel in its Communications, Media, and Technology group before becoming Of Counsel at BRB Law Group.
