Jay D. Logel
Senior Counsel
While Jay Logel's legal fluency is invaluable for the comprehensive product safety counseling he provides auto industry clients, it isn't what makes him so effective both before and after issues arise. Rather, his ability to speak the language of engineers, regulators, communications professionals, and C-suite executives in equal measure helps companies respond with one clear and strategic voice when government investigations or safety concerns threaten bottom lines and brands.
Three decades of immersive and diverse auto industry experience informs the holistic, practical, and business-oriented representation Jay provides. His advice balances the goals of the business in the context of an aggressive and sometimes contentious enforcement environment. Clients depend on Jay to provide realistic assessments of liability and regulatory risks and offer creative solutions to manage them. He helps businesses see around the corners to anticipate risks and, when needed, develop strategies, policies, or training. Other times, Jay's experience allows him to answer with a direct and simple "yes" or "no" to complex matters. From his in-house role, he knows clients seek actionable, efficient advice that helps the business deliver results.
“Effectively addressing product safety and compliance problems involves getting in front of issues without getting ahead of yourself. It requires balancing the urgency of the moment with the need for a thoughtful, coordinated, fully informed approach that has buy-in from all necessary constituencies.”
