Our specialist team advises dealer groups and national dealer associations on a wide variety of contentious and non-contentious matters, ranging from competition issues arising out of the application of the block exemption to contractual supply and stock finance arrangements. We also have in-depth knowledge and widely recognised expertise in advising organisations representing after-sales businesses and spare parts manufacturers on a pan-European basis. For these clients we help with competition, IP and commercial issues.

Recent achievements include advising national dealer associations (and negotiating with the relevant manufacturers) in relation to new block exemption compliant distribution and repair agreements for global brands including Land Rover, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan and Renault.
