I'm Senior Counsel in our Brussels office with over 30 years' experience handling issues on European competition, regulatory and commercial law, both in private practice and in-house. I have unique experience regarding the regulation of electric connected and autonomous vehicles.

Bird & Bird senior counsel Lawrence Freeman spoke at the Edison Open House on Transport Futures 2021 on 17 June 2021, an event hosted in partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group.

Science journalist and author Vivienne Parry Obe interviewed Lawrence, focusing on the areas of infrastructure, regulations and oversight for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. He explored the main regulatory barriers to the adoption of autonomous vehicles and the key environmental regulations and frameworks an investor needs to be aware of in the electric vehicle space.
