- You purchased a UAS to fly with your kids and realize you have taken outstanding photos that you may want to sell commercially.
- You are using your UAS for real estate photography, surveying, agricultural data, or other commercial purposes and you have not applied for or received an FAA authorization (Section 333 exemption).
- Your corporate counsel or primary law firm can address the day-to-day needs of your organization, but lacks the experience to help you navigate the complexities and nuances of FAA regulation, insurance issues, operational issues applicable to UAS operation, or intellectual property or licensing matters.
- You received a cease and desist letter or enforcement action from the FAA or local authorities regarding your UAS use.
- You received a demand letter or have become a defendant in a lawsuit that alleges you have committed trespass, invasion of privacy, property damage or personal injury due to your reckless or negligent use of your UAS.
- You are the corporate counsel for a media organization, utility company, real estate developer or other entity that is using UAS within its business, and you need outside counsel to guide and advise you in connection with some of the risk management, insurance coverage and liability issues that are unfamiliar to you.
- You are a manufacturer or user of UAS that goes beyond current FAA proposed rules – over 55 pounds, carrying a payload, using “first person view” guidance, or operating out of sight or higher than 200 foot altitude.
