Sectors
Foley & Lardner LLP partner Natasha Allen authored the Law.com article, “The Next 250: Which Sectors Will Define America’s Second Quarter-Millennium?” examining the industries poised to shape America’s next era and the legal and regulatory challenges accompanying their rapid growth.
Allen outlines how venture capital is reshaping foundational sectors, including AI, climate tech, defense tech, commercial space, critical minerals, and robotics. She highlights the increasingly complex legal considerations companies must navigate and emphasizes that legal and advisory functions are now central to managing risk and supporting strategic growth in these sectors.
“Taken together, these industries offer more than a preview — they are actively building America’s next century of economic leadership. The companies driving innovation in these sectors are reshaping infrastructure, labor markets, healthcare, communications, energy systems, and national security itself,” Allen concludes.
