In the courtroom, Mr. Bowser has litigated cases and counseled clients in a wide variety of complex disputes, including individual and class-action cases arising out of contract, tariff, commercial tort, consumer-protection, privacy laws, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in particular. Mr. Bowser has tried cases in federal and state court, and helped clients reach key victories through briefing at both the trial and appellate levels.

Outside the courtroom, Mr. Bowser advises numerous emerging telecommunications companies, helping them navigate regulatory hurdles from initial registration, to on-going compliance and regulatory advocacy, to complex dispute resolution. He also drafts and negotiates a wide variety of contracts, such as telecommunications/ISP service agreements, software/platform/infrastructure-as-a-service agreements, and reseller and marketing agent agreements.

In addition to defending clients in individual and class-action litigation throughout the country, he provides counseling to mitigate the litigation risk, including auditing marketing campaigns, developing compliant website and consent-based opt-ins, and preparing terms of service for direct-marketing campaigns that implicate the TCPA and related marketing and privacy laws. Having litigated many of these issues, Mr. Bowser knows where the proverbial mines are, and helps his clients sidestep them.
