He works with clients in several industries, such as construction equipment, plants, and control systems for asphalt road building, aggregate processing and concrete production, food manufacturing, medical devices, software development, financial services, textile manufacturing, and flooring, to name a few.
“I decided to join Miller & Martin for a number of reasons including their more robust platform with a deep bench in intellectual property, their geographical reach with offices in different cities and the breadth of practice areas," said Mr. Weidlich.
