Detroit-based law firm Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP has added an autonomous vehicle industry group to its practice.
The new team will advise clients on the development, procurement, investment, patenting, use and licensing of emerging technologies related to self-driving cars. Cybersecurity and other related technologies, staffing and capital investments also will be covered.
The group will be led by Honigman partner Tom Appledorn and newly hired Steve Wernikoff, who previously worked for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as the enforcement director in the Office of Technology Research and Investigation. They will head a cross-functional team of Honigman attorneys with a mix of engineering, science, intellectual property and privacy litigation backgrounds.
Formed in the early 1950s, Honigman describes itself as the largest law firm in Detroit and has broad experience in the traditional automotive industry. The Autonomous Vehicle team joins 13 other Honigman business units, including a separate automotive and manufacturing team.
