Biography

Tom Chauncey brings unique experience in media law to Gust Rosenfeld. He works with clients to resolve disputes involving libel, slander, access to records, and privacy issues and frequently is engaged in pre-publication issues for newspaper, television, and radio clients. His experience in the communication field enables him to help clients work through the multiplicity of contractual, privacy, employment, and access issues.

A problem-solver, Tom successfully addresses issues in multiple forums simultaneously, such as zoning procedures, litigation, and legislative action. He has implemented compliance programs proactively to help clients avoid the cost and adverse publicity of litigation. Tom’s practice also includes acquisition and disposal of assets; legislative relations; employment issues (contracts, non-compete agreements, sexual harassment, termination); and the complex environmental issues involved in buying, selling, and financing real estate, including homes, commercial property and ranches.

Prior to joining Gust Rosenfeld, Tom served ten years as executive vice president, general counsel, and station manager for a major radio and television station in Phoenix.
