Manufacturing Law Center

The Manufacturing Law Center represents the interests of manufacturers in court. We monitor legal trends and developments affecting the ability of manufacturers to be treated fairly by the legal system. We are actively involved in tracking major lawsuits impacting manufacturers and in related activities to promote a fair and balanced legal system for resolving disputes. With manufacturers facing legal costs of some $865 billion annually, the efforts of the Manufacturing Law Center have a direct effect on the competitive position of American manufacturers and complement the NAM's legal reform policy endeavors.

NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons recently met with some of the key lawyers that work with the Manufacturing Law Center on cases of importance to manufacturers.  Seated are Richard Faulk of Gardere Wynne Sewell, Richard Samp of the Washington Legal Foundation, and Tim Webster of Sidley Austin.  Standing: Jay Timmons, Greg Garre of Latham & Watkins, Cary Silverman of Shook Hardy & Bacon, Beth Milito of the NFIB Small Business Legal Center, Rae T.
