About

Hanson Bridgett’s Drone Law Blog (Hoverlaw.com) examines issues arising from the commercial use of drones (technically referred to as “Unmanned Aerial Systems”). The focus is on state and local government regulations and legislation that impact commercial operators and users in California.  But we will not ignore rapidly developing federal law.
