Electric Scooter Advisor
Santa Monica-Based Attorney, Catherine Lerer, Offers Insight Across the Globe
In September of 2017, Bird Rides Inc. introduced shared electric scooters to Santa Monica, CA. Since then, our firm has done a deep dive into understanding how and why e-scooter accidents occur.
Past Work as a Municipal Advisor
As e-scooter sharing expands to other cities, our founding attorney, Catherine Lerer, has advised representatives in cities across the United States and internationally. Ms. Lerer has consulted with mayors, vice mayors, city managers, city councilmen, transportation managers, safety policy advisors, city attorneys, city planning commissioners, city project managers, ministers of transportation, and other professionals. So far, she has worked with the following locations:
The United States

Services Provided
As an e-scooter consultant, Ms. Lerer can address the following issues:
- An explanation of why e-scooters are dangerous
- An explanation of a city’s potential liability
- Suggested electric scooter regulations
The purpose of these consultations is to protect the quality of life for citizens, hold scooter operators accountable, and ensure the highest level of public safety. With pre-established scooter regulations, a city will be better equipped to respond to an e-scooter rollout.
