WilmerHale Partner David Heffernan authored a chapter in the newly-released book, Inside the Minds: Complying with Transportation Regulations. Kenneth C. Hines, an aviation specialist in WilmerHale's Regulatory and Government Affairs Department and a member of the firm's Aviation Practice Group, assisted in the development of the chapter.
Heffernan's chapter, "Compliance with US Aviation Economic and Safety Regulations," describes and analyzes the United States' economic and safety regulatory schemes for air transportation. The primary focus of the chapter is the regulatory responsibilities and activities of the US Department of Transportation, which is the economic regulator, and the Federal Aviation Administration, which is the safety regulator.
Inside the Minds:Complying with Transportation Regulations is authored by leading transportation law attorneys from top firms across the country. The book is part of the Transportation Legal book series published by Thomson Reuters Westlaw and is available for purchase through Aspatore Books.
Inside the Minds chapters are comparable to white papers or thought-leadership essays, addressing the most important issues that lawyers face and offering strategies for managing those issues and effectively working with clients.
