Auto Dealership

The firm's representation of automobile dealerships is as varied and complex as the dealerships themselves, since these businesses are in reality several ongoing ventures that include the sale of new and used motor vehicles, the servicing of those vehicles, the sale of motor vehicle parts and the body shop business. In addition to the daily workings of automobile dealerships, these businesses face other issues as well, such as government regulation, land use law, environmental law, unfair trade and deceptive practices regulation, labor law, antitrust and dealer/ manufacturer relationships.

The firm has extensive experience in handling issues affecting automobile dealerships. Firm attorneys have been involved with problems related to governmental regulation, such as auto title problems and dealer licensing problems. In addition, they have assisted dealers with the Department of Revenue regarding state tax matters. They have represented auto dealers in a variety of cases including issues arising out of the Uniform Commercial Code, complaints arising out of the servicing of motor vehicles under specific laws such as Florida's Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Act, and lien laws. Firm attorneys have advocated auto dealerships' rights before municipal and county boards and agencies on land use and commercial use of their property.

The firm has assisted many dealers in their estate plans and expansion plans as well as with issues relating to ownership structure and future planning. The firm has assisted dealers with their relationships with auto manufacturers. The firm's auto dealership practice attorneys understand the issues faced by auto dealers and issues affecting their clients.
