Dealer, Distribution, and Franchise Disputes


We understand the laws governing the manufacturer-dealer relationship inside and out, and we apply this knowledge to deliver results to manufacturer clients when faced with dealer issues, including dealer termination disputes, financing matters, IP, contract, and other dealer-related disputes.

We work closely with OEMs, offering advice on compliance with state and federal laws impacting the OEM-dealer relationships, ranging from state-specific regulation of dealer territories, termination and product support, to state and federal antitrust matters. We litigate contested dealer matters on behalf of manufacturers all across the country, before administrative bodies and state and federal courts.
