Foley White Paper Examines Top Legal Issues Facing the Automotive Industry in 2022

Foley & Lardner LLP recently launched its annual Automotive White Paper addressing the business and legal trends that will impact the automotive industry in the year ahead.

As the world enters the third year of the pandemic and second year of severe supply chain constrictions, automotive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are no longer trying to figure out when things will return to “normal” but how they can adapt their operations to succeed in this new and ever-changing environment. At the same time, the acceleration of electric vehicle (EV) adoption is pushing automakers to transition their fleets, OEMs to develop charging and other support networks, and the U.S. administration to pass legislation to build the necessary infrastructure. These developments, along with the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and automated driving systems (ADSs), are causing a drastic technology-driven shift to the automotive industry that will change how companies approach intellectual property protection, labor and employment, cybersecurity, compliance, acquisitions, and contracts, among other issues.
