(Reuters) - Jenner & Block has tapped Hogan Lovells partner Trey Hanbury, a former Federal Communications Commission lawyer and Sprint Corp executive, to co-chair its communications, internet and technology practice, the firm said Wednesday.

Hanbury has represented clients on regulatory and transactional matters for close to a decade as a partner in Hogan Lovells' Washington, D.C., office, including advising T-Mobile US Inc through its 2020 merger with Sprint Corp. He previously served for more than eight years as director of government affairs at Sprint.

"We're now at a place where we really want to beef up our wireless and satellite capabilities," said Sam Feder, the managing partner of Jenner's D.C. office.

With Hanbury's arrival, the firm now has about 18 lawyers in its communications, internet and technology group, which Feder co-chairs. Hanbury said he is eager to work with Feder, another FCC alum.

Hanbury joined the FCC in 2000 and has held various policymaking positions during his four years at the agency, including serving as special counsel in the Office of General Counsel.

Representatives from Hogan Lovells did not respond to a request for comment on his departure.
