Jeffrey Gee has joined Wilkinson Barker Knauer as a partner in the Washington office. He joins after serving as chief of the investigations and hearings division at the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau.

During his tenure at the commission, Gee led hundreds of investigations and enforcement proceedings across all service areas regulated by the FCC, including broadcasting, cable and satellite operations, and broadband Internet access service.
