BROADCAST LEGAL SERVICES
Lee W. Shubert

Lee Shubert got his start in broadcasting more than 45 years ago as the voice of Daniel Webster in a syndicated, weekly radio drama. Then, for the better part of the next decade and a half, he worked at a cavalcade of large and small market radio and television stations, principally in the midwest.

Since 1974, Lee has practiced communications law with several law firms in the Washington, DC area. In January 2008, he joined forces with broadcast attorney and longtime friend, Dawn M. Sciarrino to form Sciarrino & Shubert, PLLC. Lee’s practice has involved representation of broadcast station licensees, webcasters, telecommunications service providers, cable companies, independent music promoters, equipment producers and retailers, and information and high technology companies. He regularly designs rules for on-line and/or cellular push technology sweepstakes and contests, including the statutory and regulatory compliance for the 50 States and U.S. Territories.

He also provides supervisory and oversight services for secured lenders regarding broadcast station borrowers. Lee has served as a court-appointed receiver for broadcast stations, as well as Trustee and a Director for Pinnacle Broadcasting Company, Inc. He also has served as President and Trustee of Atmor Properties Inc., a broadcast station holding company operated for the benefit of The CIT Group. Through trustee or receivership holdings, he has served as the licensee of about two dozen broadcast stations in nearly a dozen communities from coast to coast.

Lee also is the managing member of Ballston Aero Trust Services, L.C., which serves as the trusteeowner of a fleet of corporate and commercial aircraft leased world-wide through The CIT Group (formerly Newcourt Capital and AT&T Capital Corporation).

Lee received B.A and M.A. degrees from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio (where he taught radio, TV and film courses for nearly seven years) and a J.D. from Salmon P. Chase College of Law, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Newport, Kentucky. He is licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. He also is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
