Automotive and Other Transportation
SNR Denton’s experience in the automotive
sector spans a wide array of diverse yet interrelated areas,
ranging from litigation and intellectual property to corporate
transactions and government regulations. Our clients in these areas
are involved at nearly every point in the auto industry spectrum,
including manufacturing, design, distribution and supply, original
equipment manufacture (OEM), retail, auto finance, fleet
maintenance, logistics, just-in-time delivery and petroleum
products.
When high-stakes litigation is involved,
SNR Denton provides stellar experience and insight in class action,
antitrust, franchising, consumer fraud, trade libel and product
liability cases.
When dramatic changes in the workplace
occur, we advise our automotive clients on all aspects of labor and
employment law and policy, including workforce restructuring, plant
shutdowns, compliance with equal employment laws, labor
injunctions, investigations, and union-related matters.
When local or national laws are modified
or introduced, SNR Denton lawyers counsel clients on regulatory and
policy issues affecting the automotive industry, including
environmental protection, traffic safety, licensing and energy
matters.
When our clients’ intellectual property is
on the line, we promote their interests in myriad patent
infringement and patent prosecution cases, as well as product
licensing and technology matters.
When automobile manufacturers, dealers or distributors face
workouts and restructurings, our lawyers represent clients in
matters including equipment leasing and participations in large
agented credit facilities, negotiating and drafting governance
documents and agreements in connection with sales and rights
offerings, filing proofs of claim, handling reclamation issues and
other insolvency issues.
