Jim Schulz has been practicing law
in Washington
DC since 1996. Much of his practice
centers on the changing telecommunications and new media landscape, commercial space activities, and the emerging private
human spaceflight industry.
Jim has assisted clients with many issues
at the intersection of business, telecommunications and space law. He has represented
Fortune 200 companies as well as start-ups with issues such as financing a satellite venture, domestic and international common
carriage, business formation, participation in the Universal Service program, wireless licensing and spectrum issues, negotiation
and implementation of contracts enabling the establishment of a large educational satellite network, earth station licensing,
telemarketing issues, equipment certifications, license transfers and assignments, and mergers and acquisitions.
A strong advocate for greater private sector
participation in space activities, Jim has written several articles on the subject, including “Little LEOs and Their
Launchers” (CommLaw Conspectus, 1995) and “Orbital Arc Locations, A
Guide to Valuation” (Via Satellite, 1999).
He has been a guest lecturer for the telecommunications segment of the Space Law course at Catholic University’s Columbus School
of Law for several years, and has participated as a panelist and speaker at the 2006 International Space Development Conference
and several space investor forums. He also participated in the FAA’s rulemaking
regarding the establishment of safety criteria for human spaceflight operations, and assisted in drafting the Spaceflight
Liability and Immunity Act that was passed into law by the Virginia Assembly in 2007.
Jim began his legal career as an intern
at NASA’s Office of General Counsel, in the Commercial Space Division. He
also interned in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at the Federal Communications Commission. Immediately prior to founding James Philip Schulz, Attorney-at-Law, Jim was an attorney
at Reed Smith, LLP, a global top 50 law firm. He is a member of the American
Bar Association, the Federal Communications Bar Association, the International Association of Space Entrepreneurs, and the
Washington Space Business Roundtable.
