guibert.law bridges the gap between legal strategy and technical execution — advising engineering-intensive businesses on IP, cybersecurity, privacy, aviation law, and transnational deals in language engineers actually understand.
01
Intellectual Property
Full-spectrum IP strategy, prosecution, licensing, and enforcement for technology-driven companies — from patent portfolio management to trade secret protection.
02
Privacy & Cybersecurity
Cross-border privacy compliance, risk management, and incident response — with hands-on expertise in embedded systems security and automotive cybersecurity standards.
03
Embedded Systems & Safety
Legal and technical guidance at the intersection of functional safety standards, regulatory compliance, and product liability — for automotive, industrial, and other safety-critical domains.
04
Aviation Law
Aircraft transactions, drone law, FAA regulatory compliance, and homologation services — covering manned and unmanned aviation systems.
05
Securities & Transnational
SEC filings, private placements, Blue Sky compliance, technology transfers, cross-border agreements, and foreign subsidiary formation.
06
Start-up Advisory
Entity formation, outside general counsel, business consulting, and technology evaluations — guiding founders from idea to market-ready company.
Most legal counsel advises your legal team, leaving engineers and product managers to interpret and implement alone. guibert.law works directly with your technical leaders — in the language they use, at the depth they expect.
With 30 years of engineering leadership across embedded systems, automotive electronics, and software-defined products, combined with formal legal training and professional certifications in functional safety and cybersecurity, this practice understands the full stack.
Engineering-fluent counsel
ISO 26262 / ISO 21434 certified. Your HARA, TARA, and FMEA are not a foreign language here.
Outsourced general counsel
Full-spectrum legal coverage without the overhead of an in-house team.
Start-up to scale
From entity formation and IP strategy to SEC filings and international expansion.
Nicolas Guibert de Bruet has worked as a technical expert and engineering manager in the electronics and software industry for three decades, leading globally distributed teams on projects spanning connected vehicles, electric propulsion, and computer vision systems for autonomous driving safety electronics.
After earning his Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School and being admitted to the State Bar of Michigan, he built a practice that uniquely combines deep engineering expertise with full legal capability — advising clients who need counsel that can meet them where the engineering decisions are made.
