Automotive dealers require guidance to assist them with challenges and opportunities on the road ahead. Here are some ways that we’ve helped dealers.

• Performed a financial viability analysis for a large dealership chain that aimed to provide Uber and Lyft rideshare drivers with rental vehicles on a weekly and monthly basis.
• Conducted transaction due diligence for a large dealership auto group that was involved in a large buy/sell transaction ($200MM+). Advised the group’s leadership on multiple aspects of the transaction (and negotiations).
• Led a senior management strategy session with a multi-state operator of large used car stores.
• Supported the senior management of an auto group in analyzing and planning a digital retail strategy to support incremental and strategic growth.
• Assisted the dealer principal of a substantial privately-held dealership group in deciding on a brand acquisition and disposal strategy.
• Prepared certain documentation on behalf of a prospective dealer candidate seeking factory approval (which was granted) with regard to his acquisition of an underperforming luxury franchise store.
• Analyzed the replicability of a low-margin/high-volume no-haggle ultra-large trading area strategy for a dealership chain.
• Assisted a large retailer in defending its CSI practices against a fraud claim by an automaker.
• Authored a manufacturer proposal for a large franchise retailer that sought an open point from a Japan-based automaker.
