D.E. ("Deb") Boehling is a partner in the firm of Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP, where her practice focuses on representing large multi-national users of telecommunications services and related technologies in negotiations with service providers.

Ms. Boehling has substantial experience representing clients in evaluating and negotiating AT&T Master Agreements and Service Order Attachments, MCI (now Verizon Business) Global Service Agreements, and comparable custom network service agreements with Sprint, C&W, Equant, SingTel, Telstra and other major domestic and international telecom providers. For more than a decade, she has worked extensively with multi-national corporations to structure telecom deals for services that reach beyond the U.S. borders. In recent years, she has broadened her practice to encompass transactions designed to address businesses' need for flexible, high-bandwidth communications between data centers, campuses and vendor POPs, etc., typically through DWDM services and metro Ethernet rings. She also has years of experience helping enterprises with their growing demand for flexible and dynamic communications services designed to accommodate the mobility of today's workforce and/or to take advantage of the public internet to reduce communications costs. These services allow employees to connect to the LAN or WAN from locations away from their home office, allow the home office to send data or video to its employees at other locations or allow customers electronic access to important information, in each case typically via the public internet or a private IP backbone. This basket of services includes remote access services, internet access services, virtual private network services, specialized local access services, satellite services and voice response unit call processing services. She has negotiated and provided ongoing advice on a variety of managed and unmanaged MPLS contracts as well as telecommunications outsourcing contracts.

From 1991 until joining the firm, Ms. Boehling was an associate in the Washington D.C. office of Morrison & Foerster where, in addition to working extensively with the founding partners of Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP, she represented clients in litigation concerning intellectual property issues, including patents. Ms. Boehling received her B.A. with high honors from the University of Virginia in 1987 and her J.D., also from the University of Virginia, in 1991.

Ms. Boehling is admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia, New York, and in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
