When clients need legal expertise, CSG, Inc. is poised to help. And for CSG Managing Shareholder Steven Hansen, one of the great things about practicing law in Fairbanks is the breadth of work. In addition to appearing at state and federal courts, the firm has assisted clients in front of local tribal courts—which has been “educative and rewarding.” Hansen elaborates, “I think a lot of the work CSG does is about building a stronger community, whether drafting contracts that help businesses work together better or solving problems involving disputed property.”

CSG’s attorneys, which have 150-plus years of combined legal experience, are adept at a wide range of specialties. This enables them to navigate the complexities of commercial transactions, corporate law, employment and environmental regulations, estate planning, family law, intellectual property rights, personal injury cases, real estate, tax law, trusts, wills, and probate matters. Whether serving individuals in the Bush or Fortune 500 companies in the Lower 48, CSG provides high-quality, tailored services to help clients protect their interests.

However, CSG could not operate successfully without the landline telephone and high-speed internet services of GCI, Alaska’s largest telecom. “Most of the work law firms perform outside of court is done electronically, such as accessing servers, file management, and emailing clients,” Hansen explains. “The lifeblood of a law firm is technology. We would not be able to do our work without the stability of GCI’s services.”

Having access to GCI’s solutions—which CSG has relied on for more than two decades—has been essential for the firm to retain several employees who had to relocate from the state and now work remotely across multiple time zones. “It has allowed us to keep employees we are happy with and continue that relationship,” Hansen says.

Additionally, CSG appreciates the dependability of GCI’s fiber internet service, along with its responsiveness for addressing any technical or other issues that may occasionally arise. Hansen says, “GCI has outstanding customer service.”

Headquartered in Alaska, GCI provides data, mobile, video, voice, and managed services to consumer, business, government, and carrier customers throughout Alaska, serving more than 200 communities.  The company has invested more than $4 billion in its Alaska network and facilities over the past forty years and recently launched true standards-based 5G NR service in Anchorage. GCI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband Corporation. To learn more about GCI and its services, visit www.gci.com.
