Mr. Marashlian has won numerous awards and recognitions over the course of his career, including the Executive Management Award from SmartCEO, multiple client service awards from Client Choice/International Law Office, and both an “AV” Preeminent Peer Rating and Preeminent Client Rating from Martindale-Hubbell®.

With 18 years dedicated to law, Mr. Marashlian​​​​​​​​​​ brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, telecommunications law. When asked why he decided to pursue this specialization in law, Mr. Marashlian​​​​​​​​​​ said:

"I developed an interest in the FCC during my first year of law school shortly after congress passed the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which opened up the telecom market to competition. My first job was with The National Telephone Cooperative Association [NTCA], and I interned with them during a very active period, right as the FCC was implementing the Telecom Act. I was introduced to FCC regulations at an exciting time for competition and I fell in love with it.”

With an exceptional knowledge of regulations surrounding the telecommunications industry, Mr. Marashlian went on to found one of the most successful law firms focusing on communications and information technology–The CommLaw Group. As the firm’s Managing Partner and head of its Regulatory and Communications Taxes and Fees Practices, Mr. Marashlian is responsible for guiding the firm's clients through the maze of state and federal regulatory requirements. He also founded an affiliated consulting firm, The Commpliance Group.

As a thought-leader in his industry, Mr. Marashlian is keenly aware of ascendant trends affecting the industries he represents. In particular, he notes the interplay between government regulation and the rapid technological innovation in telecommunications. He noted:

"Technology is evolving at such a rapid pace that both regulatory authorities and state and local taxing authorities are struggling to keep up. But what we have witnessed throughout the history of this industry is that government eventually catches up. And as new technologies and services take hold in the marketplace they create revenue generating opportunities for the government, and they will eventually seek to extend their regulations and taxes to apply to those new innovations. So we're continuously on the lookout to see where technology is heading so we can assist clients with existing government regulations as well as the likelihood of regulatory and legislative creep over time.”

Mr. Marashlian is licensed to practice in the state of Maryland. He is admitted to United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He is a member of the Federal Communications Bar Association.
