Why Space Law Firms Are Becoming a Real Business
from Space Business with Fexingo: Launch Companies, Satellites, and Commercial Spaceflight · host Fexingo
Space law is no longer a niche academic field. As launch traffic surges and satellite constellations multiply, law firms like Hogan Lovells and Covington & Burling are building dedicated space practices. Lucas and Luna examine a specific case: the 2025 FCC spectrum dispute between two LEO broadband operators, which generated over $4 million in legal fees before settlement. They explore how regulatory complexity, liability treaties, and property rights questions are turning space law into a booming commercial practice. The episode also touches on the rise of in-house space counsel at companies like SpaceX and Planet, and what it means for startups navigating the legal landscape. #SpaceLaw #SpaceBusiness #FCC #LEOBroadband #HoganLovells #CovingtonBurling #SpaceX #Planet #SpectrumDispute #SatelliteRegulation #SpaceTreaty #Liability #CommercialSpace #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpacePolicy #SpaceEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
