Legal Books and Publications Authored By Firm Attorneys

Thomson Reuters' Drone Law Book

Zaida McGhee and Tyler Hazen are the authors of Drone Law, Thomson Reuters' first book on UAS Law which was published in April 2022, and is scheduled for a 2nd publication in October of 2022. The book provides guidance on applicable laws and regulations covering everything from manufacturer compliance and drone operations to choice of law and tort principles. The book was the brainchild of Ms. McGhee who realized that there was a need for such a book while writing about drone regulations and applicable tort law for the Aviation Chapter of Thomson Reuters’ California Civil Practice: Torts set of books.
