Our Clients: Law Firms

---

Attorneys representing landowners and municipalities in cellular lease negotiations face a unique challenge: balancing legal risk, regulatory compliance, and technical accuracy in agreements that often outlast multiple property cycles. At SCM Advisors, we provide the technical and engineering foundation that empowers lawyers to build stronger, more enforceable wireless lease agreements for their clients.

Why Legal Counsel Benefits from Technical Validation

Section 6409 is often used to classify certain upgrades as “minor modifications.” Without independent technical validation, attorneys may approve amendments or extensions that unintentionally reduce municipal authority, limit revenue, or increase client liability.

SCM Advisors supports attorneys by delivering:

• FCC Compliance Audits: Independent RF engineering assessments verifying exposure limits, equipment power levels, and emission safety.
• Use Permit Compliance Reviews: Confirming facilities align with zoning, aesthetic, and indemnification requirements.
• Structural Engineering Assessments: Evaluating tower, rooftop, or facility load capacity and safety before modifications or co-locations.
• On-Site Field Surveys: Documenting equipment inventory, unreported additions, and adherence to lease terms.

Strengthening Lease Language and Enforcement

Our findings give attorneys the technical evidence needed to:

• Insert enforceable indemnification and liability provisions.
• Condition lease amendments and extensions on verified compliance and structural capacity.
• Quantify and justify rent adjustments, fees, and penalties tied to significant modifications.
• Maintain defensible compliance records to help mitigate future claims.
   

Adding Value to Legal Counsel

SCM Advisors does not replace the role of legal counsel, we enhance it. By providing technical data, field verification, and compliance documentation, we enable attorneys to negotiate from a position of strength and ensure their clients’ leases are well-structured, enforceable, and financially optimized.

With SCM Advisors as your partner, your legal practice gains the technical backbone needed to better protect clients and strengthen lease outcomes.
