MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers will host the annual Automotive Supplier Legal Trends Seminar on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025, at TechTown in Detroit, Mich. Warner’s experienced automotive supply chain attorneys will share key legal insights and trends to help supplier executives navigate what promises to be a challenging and evolving automotive environment in 2025.

Warner attorneys Michael Brady, Dan Bonucchi, Adam Ratliff, Sarah Bileti, Dennis Loughlin, Kelly Hollingsworth and Nate Steed will join Michael to cover leading and current legal issues in these presentations:

Trends in a Changing International Supply Chain Dan Bonucchi and Adam Ratliff With expected, significant shifts in how the U.S. approaches international trade adding to a myriad of existing challenges for the industry, including a slowed transition from ICE to BEV, how should suppliers assess and plan for increased legal and commercial risks related to automotive’s heavy dependence on global supply chains? Dan and Adam will explain how suppliers should proactively navigate these challenges.

How to Handle Changing Immigration Policies Sarah Bileti In the post-election environment, suppliers should prepare for potential shifts in immigration policy that could significantly impact the automotive industry’s ability to recruit and retain specialized talent. Proposed changes may include reductions in visa availability, stricter wage requirements for employment-based visas and heightened scrutiny on green card allocations for high-skilled workers. Sarah will explain how suppliers, to remain competitive and ensure a robust talent pipeline, should proactively develop strategies to navigate the evolving landscape of global workforce mobility.

Don’t Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste Dennis Loughlin From declining EV volumes to increasing bankruptcy filings to a new political landscape, landmines abound for the unwary supplier. However, such uncertain times provide opportunities to not only survive but, hopefully, thrive. Dennis will address the landmines for suppliers and will also shine a light on opportunities that may exist for those focused on coming out the other side further ahead.

How to Protect Your Company Against a Cyberattack Kelly Hollingsworth and Nate Steed With automotive supply manufacturers ranking cybersecurity as the biggest external concern for their global companies, Kelly and Nate will discuss cybersecurity liability and production concerns for automotive suppliers in the event of a security incident. They will explore OEM and supplier lawsuits stemming from ransomware attacks that have disrupted supply chains and discuss how best to protect yourself.

Roundtable Discussion with Audience Q&amp;A All speakers will participate.
