Understanding where law and vCon technology connect, Marashlian & Donahue Podcast

“Telecom law is a niche, but it’s a powerful one — and it’s about to become even more important in the world of vCons.” — Diana James, Attorney, Marashlian & Donahue, PLLC

At vCon 2025, Diana James Highlights Why Telecom Law Is Key to the Next Era of Communication

Hyannis, MA - April 2025 - Speaking from the vCon Conference in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, Diana James, attorney with Marashlian & Donahue (The CommLaw Group), emphasized how crucial it is to have legal expertise tailored to technology and telecom — especially as new communication formats like vCon emerge.

“Telecom law is a very niche area, and there's a lot to keep track of,” said James. “But it’s incredibly exciting, and it’s becoming even more critical as innovations like vCon reshape how businesses manage, share, and protect conversations.”

Marashlian & Donahue represents clients across the telecom industry, including the Cloud Communications Alliance. James and her colleagues are deeply involved in helping organizations navigate the complex regulatory environment that governs emerging technologies like virtualized conversations.

The vCon standard, which captures and containers conversations (voice, text, video, chat) into structured, portable files, presents vast new opportunities — but also raises important legal questions around data privacy, consent, and regulatory compliance.

“It’s not just about building the technology. It’s about making sure it's implemented ethically and legally,” James noted.

With enterprises and service providers racing to adopt AI, customer intelligence, and new conversational formats, specialized telecom and tech law firms like Marashlian & Donahue are more important than ever — helping innovators stay ahead of regulatory requirements while protecting customer trust.
