Our Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) practice team helps businesses and industries transition and expand in this exciting and rapidly growing field. We provide a number of resources to capture the full value of RFID technology and offer clients strategic business, government affairs and legal advice in RFID creation, development, procurement, use and application.
RFID Government Affairs - A consistent, predictable and growing market in what RFID providers want, while avoiding inconsistent mandates carrying greater cost, risk and uncertainty. MLA has been working with RFID providers and users to offer advice on increasing numbers of federal and state policy makers interested in radio frequency identification technology and potential.
Our highly regarded attorneys and public policy advisors, along with an experienced team of government affairs professionals, work in tandem on this cutting-edge issue. Members of the team have served in senior government positions in key agencies and have worked closely with primary agencies in charge of the procurement efforts, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Transportation, Department of Health and Human Services, Government Accountability Office and many more.
