Bret Fausett Starts Fresh TLD Consultancy, Sets Up Shop Down Street from ICANN

Admiralty Way has a fresh domain name resident.

An attorney with a long history in the domain name world has started a consulting firm to help fresh top level domain name applicants.

Bret Fausett, who was most recently Of Counsel at Alvarado Smith, has started Internet Pro APC (www.Internet.pro).

The firm’s address is on Admiralty Way in Marina del Ray, California. If that address looks familiar it’s since it’s the same street as ICANN’s headquarters.

Although information on Fausett’s firm web page is scant, he provides a bit of information to Ray King in this video filmed at this stretch’s ICANN meeting in Dakar.

Fausett was the attorney representing the group that sued VeriSign over its price increases. He has also been in the thick of many interested domain name cases.

A couple years ago I sat down with him in his L.A. office to discuss domain names.

Fausett has also restarted his LexText blog, although it’s no longer in a blog format.
