Careers
A career at Honeywell involves more than just talented attorneys. We hire
outstanding business people who can blend their business and legal skills to
become leaders. The Honeywell Law Department provides a challenging and
rewarding in-house experience that allows you to use all of your talents,
broaden your business acumen, and focus on important, global business
issues.
The Law Department includes Government Relations within the United States
and abroad, as well as intellectual property licensing.
A career within Honeywell Law & Government Relations lets you experience
many of Honeywell's industries and technologies while developing your skills as
a leader.
Career Focus
Your career in Honeywell's Law Department may focus on being part of a
business leadership team. Our General Counsels and Assistant General Counsels
reside within our various businesses and provide advice and support on issues
ranging from customer contracting and operational concerns, to mergers and
divestitures. Because we are a technology company, protecting intellectual
property is also a key focus, and each of our business groups has a team of
patent attorneys. These attorneys focus on IP litigation — both affirmative and
defensive.
At Corporate, our practice groups in Human Resources and Litigation &
Finance allow employees to work across businesses while learning Honeywell's
varied industries and technologies. We encourage movement not only from
business to business, but also in and out of corporate. Based upon your skills
and plans, a career within the Honeywell Law Department can provide you with a
rewarding experience.
Career Path
A career path within the Honeywell Law Department offers variety. Those in
our corporate practice groups have taken their broad experience and moved into
business groups as General Counsels. Our Intellectual Property attorneys have
become General Counsels at the highest level of our organization, and General
Counsels have the opportunity to grow by moving to larger, more complex
businesses as their leadership skills develop.
Like most corporate law departments, Honeywell has a flat organization.
However, it provides the opportunity to rotate through businesses and
corporate, continually growing your skills and rewards. For instance, a Vice
President and Deputy General Counsel for Automation and Control Solutions (ACS)
started his career with Honeywell as a General Counsel, Safety Restraints
business, in Michigan. As Honeywell began to change its automotive portfolio,
he moved to Danbury, Connecticut, and became General Counsel of the Automotive
Products Group and the Consumer Products Group. From there, he took on a
corporate role as Deputy General Counsel of Litigation and oversaw all of
Honeywell's litigation efforts. After his successful corporate assignment, he
returned to the businesses to become Vice President and Deputy General Counsel
of Specialty Materials. All of his prior roles prepared him for his latest
residence as Vice President & Deputy General Counsel of our Automation
& Control Solutions business in Minneapolis, a significant leadership
position over an extremely complex $9 billion business segment.
