Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility

We represent companies operating at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, mobility, and electrification, including automotive manufacturers, EV battery producers, industrial suppliers, and technology-driven production platforms. These businesses operate at the intersection of sophisticated technology, intellectual property, complex regulatory requirements, global supply chains, and significant capital investment. As manufacturers expand and scale operations, they face complex regulatory frameworks, supply chain structuring challenges, product exposure risks, capital deployment decisions, and operational compliance requirements. We execute and defend across the full lifecycle of manufacturing operations, including:

• U.S. market entry and entity structuring
• Joint ventures and strategic manufacturing partnership
• Cross-border M&A and technology transfers
• Project development and plant acquisitions
• Real estate development and industrial leasing
• Labor, employment, and workplace compliance
• Privacy and data governance tied to operations and connected technologies
• Patent portfolio development and protection
• Trade secret protection and safeguarding
• IP due diligence in joint ventures, acquisitions and investments

Our product liability platform, developed through decades of representing global automotive manufacturers, is a core pillar of our practice. We are expanding that strength into the battery and energy storage sectors, where regulatory scrutiny and product risk are rapidly evolving.
