Fredrikson attorney Anthony S. Mendoza has been elected to the St. Paul Area Chamber Board of Directors. Mendoza will serve a one year term through 2025 and be eligible for a three year extension through 2028. As a member of the board, he will support the Chamber’s work to champion an economically vibrant St. Paul. Mendoza will build on the economic development work he has done as current board member and recent board chair of the Midway Chamber of Commerce.
Mendoza has nearly 30 years of experience representing clients in the internet, communications, arts and entertainment industries. He helps for profit and nonprofit clients with transactional, regulatory, policy, intellectual property and litigation matters. He serves as outside general counsel to many of his clients within and outside the communications, arts and entertainment industries.
Mendoza began practicing communications law just before the internet became a “thing.” He regulated the telecommunications industry for four years just after the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. From rural broadband deployment to data privacy to net neutrality to 911 and 811, there are few issues Mendoza has not handled for his internet and communications clients.
St. Paul Area Chamber strives to promote the continuous improvement of the common good and the quality of life in the community through the pursuit of new business.
