Honigman launches autonomous vehicle industry group
Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn has created an autonomous vehicle industry group, which includes a cross-disciplinary team of attorneys who practise in the firm’s intellectual property, corporate and litigation departments.
The group will be co-led by Steve Wernikoff, a former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) attorney, alongside Tom Appledon, a Honigman partner.
Wernikoff was previously the FTC’s enforcement director in the office of technology research and investigation.
Wernikoff said: “Honigman is leading the charge to help clients with guidance and strategies for the complex legal, business, IP and regulatory requirements related to autonomous vehicle technologies.
“We can help clients navigate the broad spectrum of issues and potential pitfalls throughout their product development and commercialisation strategies.”
David Foltyn, CEO of Honigman, said: “The establishment of an autonomous vehicle industry group made perfect sense for us given our tremendous experience working with clients in the automotive, technology, regulatory, manufacturing and privacy/data sectors.
“Not only will this formalise the growing capabilities of attorneys who are practising in this area, it also solidifies an important milestone in the firm’s strategic growth initiative.”
