Automotive vehicle manufacturers face numerous commercial challenges in a competitive international market with reducing margins.
This necessitates the use of ‘insider’ legal advisers who truly understand what is happening in the industry.
Our team is experienced in advising major manufacturers on matters ranging from employment and IP issues to the introduction
of radical new models and brands for niche markets. We have also assisted with outsourcing financial operations and consumer
finance packages and provided competition compliance support to the captive finance arm of a leading manufacturer.
Examples of our recent experience include:
- putting into place block exemption compliant dealer and repairer agreements for a leading British sports car manufacturer's
distribution network
- advising Porsche in its brand protection in the UK
- handling the manufacturing agreements with assemblers and suppliers for the ground-breaking amphibious car project
